Modeling airflow and particle transport/deposition in pulmonary airways.
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 steps are outlined, including construction of suitable airway geometries, mathematical description of the air-particle transport phenomena and computer simulation of micron and nanoparticle depositions. Specifical...
متن کاملStudy of airflow and particle transport in acinar airways of the human lung
In this work, airflow and particle transport are studied using mathematical and image-based models of pulmonary acinus. Numerical results predict that airflow in the presence of wall motion in a three-dimensional honeycomb like geometry is characterized by the presence of a recirculation region within the alveolar cavity and a weak entraining flow between alveolar duct and cavity. Alveolar flow...
متن کاملMicro Particle Transport and Deposition in Human Upper Airways
The hazard caused by inhaled particles depends on the site at which they deposit within the respiratory system. Knowledge of respiratory aerosol deposition rates and locations is necessary to (1) evaluate potential health effects and establish critical exposure limits and (2) design effective inhaled medications that target specific lung regions. Particles smaller than 10 μm in diameter can be ...

15 صفحه اولAirborne particle deposition in cleanrooms: Deposition mechanisms
This article discusses the mechanisms of particle deposition onto cleanroom surfaces. The main mechanism for particles above about 0.5μm is gravitational settling. Turbulent deposition and electrostatic attraction can also occur at all particle sizes, and for particles below 0.5μm Brownian diffusion is important. Measurements of particle deposition rates (PDRs) were made of particles 10μm on wi...
