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 …

Purpose To compare the results obtained by using numerical flow simulations with the
results of combined single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and computed …

In this paper, the cell-based smoothed finite element method (CS-FEM) empowered by the
discrete phase model (DPM) is developed to solve dilute solid particles movements induced …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Primary bronchial cancer accounts for almost 20% of all cancer death worldwide. One of the
emerging techniques with tremendous power for lung cancer therapy is magnetic aerosol …

Background Pulmonary lobectomy has been a well-established curative treatment method
for localized lung cancer. After left upper pulmonary lobectomy, the upward displacement of …
