Focusing on the particle deposition due to gravitational sedimentation and inertial impaction,
the transport and deposition of micron particles with various diameters (ie, 1 to 7 μm) have …

Deposition of spherical particles in an airway bifurcation is studied numerically. Airway
dimensions are based on the third airway generation of the Weibel symmetric lung model …

Particle deposition in symmetric bifurcating airways due to inertial impaction was studied
numerically for inspiratory flows. Three-dimensional bifurcation models were constructed …

A direct numerical simulation of air flow and particle motion is conducted for doubly
bifurcated models in order to see the effect of the velocity profile distorted by the previous …

The flow theory and air flow structures in symmetric double-bifurcation airway models
assuming steady laminar, incompressible flow, unaffected by the presence of aerosols, has …

Particle deposition in the human lungs is mainly influenced by the fluid dynamics and the
particle properties, such as the size and the deposition mechanisms. A three-dimensional …

Deposition patterns and efficiencies of a dilute suspension of inhaled particles in three-
dimensional double bifurcating airway models for both in-plane and 90 deg out-of-plane …

Steady laminar axisymmetric inhalation flow and wall deposition of micron-size particles in
representative triple bifurcation airways have been simulated using a commercial finite …

Spatial deposition patterns in two different geometric models of bronchial airway bifurcations
were computed by solving numerically the 3D Navier–Stokes equations and simulating …

Air flow pattern and inertial deposition of particles in a bifurcating channel of square cross
section have been studied numerically. The Navier-Stokes equation for the air flow are …
