Application of Surface Mapping to Visualize Wall Shear Stress and Particles deposition in a Realistic Human Nasal Cavity

چکیده
Nasal cavity is an important component of respiration system for the various physiological functions (Elad et al., 2008; Lee, 2010). By using a commercial CFD software Ansys-Fluent and a surface mapping software Unfold3D, wall shear stress (WSS) distribution and particle deposition patterns on the nasal cavity wall were simulated and transformed into a normalized UV domain (where U and V denote coordinate axes of a 2D space) to present a complete view of an entire wrapped surface, therefore to be analyzed with better precision and to allow direct comparisons between left and right cavities. In this paper, applications of surface mapping methods on a nasal cavity are demonstrated, and results for WSS distribution and time dependent particle deposition on UV domain during steady inhalation are analyzed.

Application of surface mapping to visualize wall shear stress and particle deposition in realistic human nasal cavities
Nasal cavity is an important component of respiration system for the various physiological functions (Elad et al., 2008; Lee, 2010). Due to its complicated geometry, flow patterns are difficult to visualize inside 3D spaces. By adopting the ISOMAP algorithm (Tenenbaum et al., 2000) implemented in Matlab, the surface of a nasal cavity, together with characteristic lines serving as visual markers...

During the past decades, numerous computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies, constructed from CT or MRI images, have simulated human nasal models. As compared to rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry, which provide quantitative information only of nasal airflow, resistance, and cross sectional areas, CFD enables additional measurements of airflow passing through the nasal cavity that help vis...
متن کاملMicro Particles Transport and Deposition in Realistic Geometry of Human Upper Airways
Realistic geometry of human upper airways from mouth to the end of trachea was reconstructed by implementing the CT-Scan images of a male subject. A computational model for analyzing the airflow in the airways was developed and several simulations were performed. To capture the anisotropy of the inhaled airflow in the upper airways, the Reynolds stress transport model of turbulence was used ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the clearance characteristics of liposomes in the human nose by gamma-scintigraphy
The nasal cavity possesses many advantages as a site for drug delivery, such as, ease of administration, applicability for long term treatments and a large surface area for absorption. One important limiting factor for nasal drug delivery is the limited time available for absorption within the nasal cavity due to mucociliary clearance. Several drug delivery systems including different kinds of ...
