Dynamic modeling of how particulate matter (PM) transport, deposit, and translocate from
human respiratory systems to systemic regions subject to indoor and outdoor exposures are …

Microbots have been considered powerful tools in minimally invasive medicine. In the last
few years, the topic has been highly studied by researchers across the globe to further …

Most existing whole lung models neglect the airway deformation kinematics and assume the
lung airways are static. However, neglecting the airway deformation effect on pulmonary air …

This paper considers factors that play a significant role in determining inspiratory pressure
and energy losses in the human trachea. Previous characterisations of pathological …

Trachea replacement for nonoperable defects remains an unsolved problem due to
complications with stenosis and mechanical insufficiency. While native trachea has …

The mechanics of biological fluids is an important topic in biomechanics, often requiring the
use of computational tools to analyze problems with realistic geometries and material …

Airway stents improve pulmonary function and quality of life in patients suffering from airway
obstruction. The aim of this study was to compare main types of stents (silicone, balloon …

The effort required to inhale a breath of air is a critically important measure in assessing
airway function. Although the contribution of the trachea to the total flow resistance of the …

Many physiological systems involve strong interactions between fluids and solids, posing a
significant challenge when modeling biomechanics. The objective of this study was to …

A computational fluid dynamics model of a healthy, a stenotic and a post-operatory stented
human trachea was developed to study the respiration under physiological boundary …
