The mechanics of airflow in the human nasal airways is reviewed, drawing on the findings of
experimental and computational model studies. Modelling inevitably requires simplifications …

In this review we describe a wide range of numerical methods employed recently to simulate
complex, multi-physical flows of electrically-conducting fluids. Six powerful numerical …

To address the health problems caused by the long-term intrusion of high-concentration dust
generated in coal mining operations into the human respiratory tract, this study …

The automatic grid generation on high performance computers is a challenging task under
the restriction of computational power and memory availability. The increasing demand for …

Experimental images from particle/droplet image analyser (PDIA) and particle image
velocimetry (PIV) imaging techniques of particle formation from a nasal spray device were …

The flow field at inspiration and expiration in the upper human airways consisting of the
trachea down to the sixth generation of the bronchial tree is numerically simulated. The three …

The fluid dynamical properties of the air flow in the upper airway (UA) are not fully
understood at present due to the three-dimensional (3D) patient-specific complex geometry …

The inhalation of toxic particles such as asbestos fibres through the nasal airway has been
found to cause harmful damage to the respiratory system. This study made use of CFD …

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently emerged as an efficient alternative to
classical Navier-Stokes solvers. This is particularly true for hemodynamics in complex …

The immense increase of computational power in the past decades led to an evolution of
numerical simulations in all kind of engineering applications. New developments in medical …
