Airway stenosis is a global respiratory health problem that is caused by airway injury,
endotracheal intubation, malignant tumor, lung aging, or autoimmune diseases. A precise …

Aerosol transport and deposition in human lungs has attracted considerable attention in the
past few years, as it has significant value to the study of toxicity consequence as well as …

In light of the exponentially increasing industrial production and consumer use of ultrafine
particles, deposition in the human lung is of great environmental and biomedical concern …

The transport and deposition (TD) of inhaled aerosol particles in airways of human lungs are
important for therapeutically targeted drug delivery in respiratory tracts. The airflow and …

Understanding nano-particle inhalation in human lung airways helps targeted drug delivery
for treating lung diseases. A wide range of numerical models have been developed to …

Considering a human upper airway model, or equivalently complex internal flow conduits,
the transport and deposition of nano-particles in the 1–150 nm diameter range are simulated …

The deposition of ultrafine aerosols in the respiratory tract presents a significant health risk
due to the increased cellular-level response that these particles may invoke. However, the …

We studied the transport and deposition of quasi-monodisperse nanoparticles (with mobility
diameter dm ranging from 1nm to 52nm) inside an extrathoracic airway model (which …

Investigation of the effect of sidewall and carinal tumours, airway constrictions and airway
blockage on the inspiratory airflow and particle deposition in the large central human …

The present work describes the local deposition patterns of therapeutic aerosols in the
oropharyngeal airways, healthy and diseased bronchi and alveoli using computational fluid …
