Airflows in the nasal cavities and oral airways are rather complex, possibly featuring a
transition to turbulent jet-like flow, recirculating flow, Dean's flow, vortical flows, large …

The understanding of complex inhalation and transport processes of pollutant particles
through the human respiratory system is important for investigations into dosimetry and …

A computational fluid dynamics technique is applied to understand the relative importance of
the upper and intra-thoracic airways and their role in determining central airflow patterns …

With the rapid growth of the nanotechnology industry, the need to understand the biological
effects of aerosol exposure has become increasingly important. Featuring contributions by …

Effective evaluation and prediction of aerosol transport deposition in the human respiratory
tracts are critical to aerosol drug delivery and evaluation of inhalation products …

Regional deposition effects are important in the pulmonary delivery of drugs intended for the
topical treatment of respiratory ailments. They also play a critical role in the systemic delivery …

This paper presents regional and total deposition measurements in several realistic mouth
and throat geometries and demonstrates the effects of intrasubject and intersubject …

Patients referred for treatment of tracheal stenosis typically are asymptomatic until critical
narrowing of the airway occurs, which then requires immediate intervention. To understand …

The extent to which laryngeal-induced flow features penetrate into the upper
tracheobronchial (TB) airways and their related impact on particle transport and deposition …

Extrathoracic deposition was studied using an idealized average human mouth and throat
replica. Effects of particle size, flow rate and flow Reynolds number were examined using …
