Introduction: Topical intranasal drugs are widely prescribed for Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS), although delivery can vary with device type and droplet size. The study objective was to compare nebulized and sprayed droplet deposition in the…

Objectives: The main objective of this review article is to evaluate the usability of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) as a supporting clinical tool for respiratory system. Data Source: The English articles referred for this review paper…

In addition to topical delivery, nasal sprays offer an alternative drug administration route to the systemic circulation, therefore avoiding the need for painful, invasive delivery techniques. Studies on the efficacy of nasal drug delivery…

Generating anatomically realistic three-dimensional (3D) models of the human sinonasal cavity for numerical investigations of sprayed drug transport presents a host of methodological ambiguities. For example, subject-specific radiographic…

The study is looking into the potential of using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as a tool for predicting the outcome of surgery for alleviation of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). From pre- and post-operative computed tomography…

Nasal breathing difficulties (NBD) are widespread and difficult to diagnose; the failure rate of their surgical corrections is high. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables diagnosis of NBD and surgery planning, by comparing a…

Purpose: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are performed to investigate the impact of adding a grid to a two-inlet dry powder inhaler (DPI). The purpose of the paper is to show the importance of the correct choice of closure…

In several problems involving fluid flows, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) provides detailed quantitative information, and often allows the designer to successfully optimize the system, by minimizing a cost function. Sometimes, however,…

There is overwhelming evidence on SARS-CoV-2 Airborne Transmission (AT) in the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. It is extraordinarily difficult, however, to deduce a generalized framework to assess the relative airborne transmission risk with…

Airflow through the nasal cavity exhibits a wide variety of fluid dynamicsbehaviour due to the intricacy of the nasal geometry. The flow is naturallyunsteady and perhaps turbulent, despite CFD in the literature that assumesa steady laminar…

Topical intra-nasal sprays are amongst the most commonly prescribed therapeutic options for sinonasal diseases in humans. However, inconsistency and ambiguity in instructions show a lack of definitive knowledge on best spray use techniques.…

Despite the progress in high performance computing, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are still computationally expensive for many practical engineering applications such as simulating large computational domains and highly…

Intracardiac flow patterns are shaped by the coupled motion of the cardiac chambers and heart valves and provide important information about cardiac function. However, clinical flow imaging remains limited by exam times, noise, resolution,…

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies of left atrial flows have reached a sophisticated level, e.g., revealing plausible relationships between hemodynamics and stresses with atrial fibrillation. However, little focus has been on…

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based simulation of coronary blood flow provides valuable hemodynamic markers, such as pressure gradients, for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). However, CFD is computationally expensive,…

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be used to simulate vascular haemodynamics and analyse potential treatment options. CFD has shown to be beneficial in improving patient outcomes. However, the implementation of CFD for routine clinical…

Purpose: Nasal saline irrigation is highly recommended in patients following functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) to aid the postoperative recovery. Post-FESS patients have significantly altered anatomy leading to markedly different…

Cardiovascular diseases are among the most important causes of global mortality. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a powerful research tool that analyzes the hemodynamics of artery and blood flow patterns. In this study, CFD simulations…

Intrathecal (IT) injection is an effective way to deliver drugs to the brain bypassing the blood-brain barrier. To evaluate and optimize IT drug delivery, it is necessary to understand the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in the central…

Current approaches to in vivo imaging of the mouse central nervous system (CNS) do not offer a combination of micrometer resolution and a whole-brain field of view. To address this limitation, we introduce an approach based on synchrotron…
