Flow and Particle Deposition in the Turbuhaler DPI - A CFD Simulation
In this work the steady-state flow in a commercial dry powder inhaler device, DPI (i.e., Turbuhaler) is described using computational fluid dynamics. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved using commercial CFD software considering different flow models, i.e., laminar, k-ε, k-ε RNG, and k-ω SST as well as large Eddy simulation. Particle motion and deposition are described using a Eulerian-fluid/...
متن کاملThe effects of simulated airway diseases and affected flow distributions on aerosol deposition.
BACKGROUND Experimental and theoretical aspects of targeted drug delivery have been addressed several times in this journal. Herein, a computational study of particle deposition patterns within healthy and diseased lungs has been performed, using a validated aerosol dosimetry model and a flow-resistance model. OBJECTIVE To evaluate to what extent the uneven flow distributions produced by the ...
متن کاملCFD Predictions of Dense Slurry Flow in Centrifugal Pump Casings
Dense slurry flow through centrifugal pump casing has been modeled using the Eulerian-Eulerian approach with Eulerian multiphase model in FLUENT 6.1. First order upwinding is considered for the discretization of momentum, k and ε terms. SIMPLE algorithm has been applied for dealing with pressurevelocity coupling. A mixture property based k-ε turbulence model has been used for modeling turbulenc...
متن کاملInhaled Aerosol Distribution in Human Airways: A Scintigraphy-Guided Study in a 3D Printed Model.
BACKGROUND While it is generally accepted that inertial impaction will lead to particle loss as aerosol is being carried into the pulmonary airways, most predictive aerosol deposition models adopt the hypothesis that the inhaled particles that remain airborne will distribute according to the gas flow distribution between airways downstream. METHODS Using a 3D printed cast of human airways, we...
