We investigate theoretically the steady incompressible viscoelastic flow in a hyperbolic
contracting channel. The fluid viscoelasticity is modeled using the upper convected Maxwell …

We study liquid plugs in the pulmonary airways based on the two-phase axisymmetric
weighted residual integral boundary-layer model of Dietze et al.(J. Fluid Mech., vol. 894 …

The yield stress and shear thinning properties of mucus are identified as critical for ciliary
coordination and mucus transport in human airways. We use here numerical simulations to …

A long-wave asymptotic model is developed for a viscoelastic falling film along the inside of
a tube; viscoelasticity is incorporated using an upper convected Maxwell model. The …

We propose a hierarchy of mathematical models for the numerical simulation of active thin
structures in a viscous fluid and its application to mucociliary clearance. Our aim is to …

We study the transport and deposition of inhaled aerosols in a mid-generation, mucus-lined
lung airway, with the aim of understanding if and how airborne particles can avoid the …

We propose a hierarchy of mathematical models for the numerical simulation of active thin
structures in a viscous fluid and its application to mucociliary clearance. Our aim is to …

Le transport de fluide biologique par le mouvement des cils est un phénomène naturel qu'on
retrouve chez presque tous les êtres vivants. Le but de cette thèse est la modélisation et la …
