Background Computational fluid dynamics simulations of respiratory airflow in the upper
airway reveal clinically relevant information, including sites of local resistance, inhaled …

This study aimed to introduce a one-dimensional (1D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
model for airway resistance and lung compliance to examine the relationship between …

In this study, weldability of ultrasonic welding of 4-mm-thick fiber carbon/nylon 66 composite
in lap configuration was investigated. Ultrasonic welding tests were performed, and the weld …

Rationale Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of respiratory airflow can quantify
clinically useful information that cannot be obtained directly, such as the work of breathing …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of airflow in the human airways have the
potential to provide a great deal of information that can aid clinicians in case management …

Determining the behavior of aerosol drug particles is of vital importance in the treatment of
respiratory tract diseases. Despite the development of imaging techniques in the pulmonary …

The airway structure continuously evolves from birth to adulthood, influencing airflow
dynamics and respiratory mechanics. We currently know very little about how airflow …

Computational models are useful for understanding respiratory physiology. Crucial to such
models are the boundary conditions specifying the flow conditions at truncated airway …

Background The biomechanical properties of the lung are necessarily dependent on its
structure and function, both of which are complex and change over time and space. This …
