A viscoelastic traction layer model of muco-ciliary transport.
A new mathematical model of the transport of mucus and periciliary liquid (PCL) in the airways by cilia is presented. Mucus is represented by a linearly viscoelastic fluid, the mat of cilia is modelled as an 'active porous medium.' The propulsive effect of the cilia is modelled by a time-dependent force acting in a shear-thinned 'traction layer' between the mucus and the PCL. The effects of sur...
متن کاملEffect of Cilia Beat Frequency on Muco-ciliary Clearance
Background: The airway surface liquid (ASL), which is a ï‚uid layer coating the interior epithelial surface of the bronchi and bronchiolesis, plays an important defensive role against foreign particles and chemicals entering lungs.Objective: Numerical investigation has been employed to solve two-layer model consisting of mucus layer as a viscoelastic fluid and periciliary liquid layer as a New...
متن کاملA Cylindrical Model for Muco-Ciliary Transport in the Human Trachea: Effects of Mucus-Visco Elasiticity and Porosity
A Cylindrical two layer fluid model for the transport of serous and mucus layer in the human trachea and the steady state condition due to cilia beating, some immotile cilia forming porous bed in serous sub -layer in contact with the epithelium and air motion by considering mucus as a visco-elastic fluid are studied. The effect of air-motion due to forced expiration and other processes is consi...

متن کاملNasal Muco-ciliary transport time alteration: efficacy of 18 B Glycyrrhetinic acid
Background Mucociliary clearance is the main self-clearing system of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.This is a very important means of non specific defence against continuous organic and inorganic contamination conveyed by air. It works by trapping particles and microorganisms in the mucus and then by transporting the mucous film to the pharynx where it is eliminated with a cough or swal...
