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…
The air flows in the proximal and distal portions of the human lungs are interconnected: the lower Reynolds number in the deeper generations causes a progressive flow regularization, while mass conservation requires flow rate oscillations…
In the presented study, a numerical model which predicts the flow-induced collapse within the pharyngeal airway is validated using in vitro measurements. Theoretical simplifications were considered to limit the computation time. Systematic…
A comprehensive and detailed overview of the flow topology over a cambered NACA 65(1)-412 airfoil at Re = 20,000 is presented for angles of attack ranging from 0{\deg} to 10{\deg} using high-order direct numerical simulations. It is shown…
Localized vortices can have significant influence on transport of inhaled particles through the upper respiratory tract. These vortices have complex three-dimensional structure with details dependent on the anatomical geometry. Using a…
Inspiratory and expiratory flow in a multi-generation pig lung airway was numerically studied at a peak tracheal flow rate corresponding to a Reynolds number of 1150. The model was validated by comparing velocity distributions with previous…
The tracheal flow field shapes particle transport into the lower airways and thus influences both the spread of inhaled pathogens and the effectiveness of aerosol-based therapies. Identifying how different inhalation routes modify the flow…
In this paper, investigations are conducted using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models to investigate the importance of turbulence modelling for nasal inspiration at a constant flow rate of 250 ml/s. Four different,…
During a rapid inhalation, such as a sniff, the flow in the airways accelerates and decays quickly. The consequences for flow development and convective trans- port of an inhaled gas were investigated in a subject geometry extending from…
We report computational results of blood flow through a model of the human aortic arch and a vessel of actual diameter and length. On the top of the aortic arch the branching of the %%three arteries are included: the subclavian and jugular.…
Airflow simulation results depend on a good prediction of near wall turbulence. In this paper a comparative study between different near wall treatments is presented. It is applied to two test cases: (1) the first concerns the fully…
The planar laminar flow resulting from the impingement of two gaseous jets of different density issuing into an open space from aligned steadily fed slot nozzles of semi-width $R$ separated a distance $2H$ is investigated by numerical and…
The airflow in a subject-specific breathing human lung is simulated with a multiscale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) lung model. The three-dimensional (3D) airway geometry beginning from the mouth to about 7 generations of airways is…
An improved understanding of how vortices develop and propagate under pulsatile flow can shed important light on the mixing and transport processes including the transition to turbulent regime occurring in such systems. For example, the…
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…
The wake behind a cube with a face normal to the flow was investigated experimentally in a water tunnel using laser induced fluorescence visualisation (LIF) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) techniques. Measurements were carried out for…
This paper presents numerical investigations of flow-acoustic resonances in deep and inclined cavities using wall-resolved large-eddy simulations. A cavity with $D/L = 2.632$ is subjected to ($M_\infty=0.2$ and $0.3$) at three inclination…
The complete flow field surrounding a rotating cylinder is calculated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations using the finite difference method. The numerical simulation is performed on a transformed rectilinear grid, with axes representing…
The transitional regime of plane channel flow is investigated {above} the transitional point below which turbulence is not sustained, using direct numerical simulation in large domains. Statistics of laminar-turbulent spatio-temporal…
We experimentally study the airflow in a collapsing cavity created by the impact of a circular disk on a water surface. We measure the air velocity in the collapsing neck in two ways: Directly, by means of employing particle image…
