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 …

Inhaled medication is the first-line treatment of diseases such as asthma or chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease. Its effectiveness is related to the amount of drug deposited …

Aim To study using computer simulation the effect of irrigant flow rate on the flow pattern
within a prepared root canal, during final irrigation with a syringe and needle. Methodology …

Pulmonary drug delivery has gained great interest as an important subject of research over
the past decades given the lung diseases which are affecting millions of people suffer from …

A review of research papers is presented, pertinent to computer modeling of airflow as well
as nano-and micron-size particle deposition in pulmonary airway replicas. The key modeling …

The inspiratory flow characteristics in a CT-scanned human lung model were numerically
investigated using low Reynolds number (LRN) κ–ω turbulent model. The five-generation …

Determining the hotspots and deposition efficiencies (DEs) for aerosols in human airways is
important for both research and medical purposes. The complexity of the human airways …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is increasingly applied in the respiratory domain. The
ability to simulate the flow through a bifurcating tubular system has increased the insight into …

Obstructive lung diseases in the lower airways are a leading health concern worldwide. To
improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of lower airways, we studied airflow …

A comprehensive three-dimensional numerical model was developed to study the gas/solid
flow behaviors in a pulmonary airway affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …
