The deposition of monodisperse particles (1.0–26.0 μm diameter) in an idealized mouth–
throat geometry has been studied numerically. The continuous phase flow is solved using a …

A new highly idealized mouth–throat that mimics in vivo deposition in the human oropharynx
is proposed in the present study. Deposition of aerosols with mass median diameters of …

Fluid flow was simulated in a human mouth–throat model under normal breathing conditions
(30l/min) alternatively employing RANS k–ω (without near-wall corrections), DES and LES …

Deposition of a polydisperse aerosol (MMD= 4.8 μm, GSD= 1.65) in a replica of a human
mouth–throat is measured experimentally and compared to predicted results using …

Laminar-to-turbulent air flow for typical inhalation modes as well as micro-particle transport
and wall deposition in a representative human oral airway model have been simulated …

The extrathoracic region, including the nasal and oral passages, pharynx, and larynx, is the
entrance to the human respiratory tract and the first line of defense against inhaled air …

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 …

Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations using a shear stress transport (SST)
k-ω-based turbulence model with both mean flow tracking and random-walk/Lagrangian …

In silico methods can be used to estimate regional deposition of inhaled aerosols in regions
of the lung that are inaccessible by direct measurements. Knowledge of deposited dose is …

Simulation results of microparticle and nanoparticle deposition patterns, local
concentrations, and segmental averages are contrasted for a human upper airway model …
