The objective of this study is to systematically assess the influences of the larynopharyneal
anatomical details on airflow and particle behaviors during exhalation by means of image …

In this paper surrogate geometry models for the larynx under sedentary, light, and heavy
breathing conditions are used as the basis of a finite element model to assess the effect of …

Background and objective Understanding the impact of inhaler resistance on particle
transport and deposition in the human upper airway is essential for optimizing inhaler …

Objective Very little is known about the impact of laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) on
inspiratory airflow and resistance, especially in air hunger states. This study investigates the …

This study aims to systematically isolate different anatomical features of the human pharynx
with the goal to investigate their independent influence on airflow dynamics and particle …

Background The efficacy of inhalation therapy depends on the drug deposition in the human
respiratory tract. This study investigates the effects of vocal fold adduction on the particle …

Regional deposition of inhaled medicines is a valuable metric of effectiveness in drug
delivery applications to the lung. In silico methods are now emerging as a valuable tool for …

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

Abstract 3D models of airway lumens were created from CT scans of 19 patients with
laryngotracheal stenosis. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were completed …

Airflow and particle transport in the human lung system is influenced by biological and other
factors such as breathing pattern, particle properties, and deposition mechanisms. Most of …
