Our understanding of respiratory flow phenomena has been consolidated over decades with the exploration of in vitro and in silico canonical models that underscore the multiscale fluid …
Airflow and aerosol deposition in the human airways are important aspects for applications such as pulmonary drug delivery and human exposure to aerosol pollutants. Numerical …
Recent advances in the characterization of the human respiratory system and in multi-phase flow dynamics in complex geometries have led numerical simulations to play an expanding …
The inhalation route has a substantial influence on the fate of inhaled particles. An outbreak of infectious diseases such as COVID-19, influenza or tuberculosis depends on the site of …
There exists an ongoing need to improve the validity and accuracy of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of turbulent airflows in the extra-thoracic and upper airways …
A well-corroborated numerical methodology ensuring reproducibility in the modeling of pharmaceutical aerosols deposition in the respiratory system via CFD-DEM simulations …
Inhalation therapy is a hallmark of modern respiratory medicine. Over recent years, computational fluid-particle dynamics (CFPD) simulations of respiratory airflows and aerosol …
Within this paper we present Part2Track, a MATLAB software package for the evaluation of 2D Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) measurements. Part2Track is not only capable of …
Abstract Dry Powder Inhalers (DPIs) are a mainstay in the treatment of obstructive respiratory diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) …
