Gravitational deposition in a rhythmically expanding and contracting alveolus.
In a previous simulation, our laboratory demonstrated that the flow induced by a rhythmically expanding and contracting alveolus is highly complex (Haber S, Butler JP, Brenner H, Emanuel I, and Tsuda A, J Fluid Mech 405: 243-268, 2000). Based on these earlier findings, we hypothesize that the trajectories and deposition of aerosols inside the alveoli differ substantially from those previously p...
متن کاملChaotic mixing deep in the lung.
Our current understanding of the transport and deposition of aerosols (viruses, bacteria, air pollutants, aerosolized drugs) deep in the lung has been grounded in dispersive theories based on untested assumptions about the nature of acinar airflow fields. Traditionally, these have been taken to be simple and kinematically reversible. In this article, we apply the recently discovered fluid mecha...

In this work, the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric null shell with the flat interior and a charged Vaidya exterior spacetimes is studied. There is no gravitational impulsive wave present on the null hypersurface which is shear-free and contracting. It follows that there is a critical radius at which the shell bounces and starts expanding.
متن کاملWhy chaotic mixing of particles is inevitable in the deep lung.
Fine/ultrafine particles can easily reach the pulmonary acinus, where gas is exchanged, but they need to mix with alveolar residual air to land on the septal surface. Classical fluid mechanics theory excludes flow-induced mixing mechanisms because of the low Reynolds number nature of the acinar flow. For more than a decade, we have been challenging this classical view, proposing the idea that c...
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...
