Deposition of Inhaled Particulate Matter in the Human Upper Respiratory Tract

We have developed a physiologically realistic three-dimensional computer model of the human upper respiratory tract. Simulations of flow patterns and particle trajectories were performed using commercially available computational fluid dynamics software. The modeling results will provide a basis for...

Description
Summary:We have developed a physiologically realistic three-dimensional computer model of the human upper respiratory tract. Simulations of flow patterns and particle trajectories were performed using commercially available computational fluid dynamics software. The modeling results will provide a basis for the risk assessment of inhaled particulate matter.
