Particle deposition in the human respiratory tract is determined by biological factors such as
lung morphology and breathing patterns, and physical factors such as fluid dynamics …

The human body interacts with the environment in many different ways. The lungs interact
with the external environment through breathing. The enormously large surface area of the …

Airflows in the nasal cavities and oral airways are rather complex, possibly featuring a
transition to turbulent jet-like flow, recirculating flow, Dean's flow, vortical flows, large …

Traditional research methodologies in the human respiratory system have always been
challenging due to their invasive nature. Recent advances in medical imaging and …

This review discusses the application of computational models to simulate the transport and
deposition of inhaled pharmaceutical aerosols from the site of particle or droplet formation to …

The objectives of this study were (1) to determine whether short-term exposures to
concentrated air particles (CAPs) cause pulmonary inflammation in normal rats and rats with …

We examined the relationship between intrapulmonary particle distribution of carbonaceous
and mineral dusts and remodeling of the airways along anatomically distinct airway paths in …

The dynamics of respiratory airflows and the associated transport mechanisms of inhaled
aerosols characteristic of the deep regions of the lungs are of broad interest in assessing …

A numerical study has been performed to investigate the effect of tip geometry on the tip
leakage flow and heat transfer characteristics in unshrouded axial flow turbines. Base line …

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease has drawn public attention to the transmission of
infectious pathogens, and as major carriers of those pathogens, respiratory droplets play an …
