Rectangular lattice Boltzmann method using multiple relaxation time collision operator in two and three dimensions
Published 2020We present a lattice Boltzmann (LB) method using a rectangular, non-isotropic lattice based on D2Q9 and D3Q27 velocity sets in two and three dimensions. A second order multi-scale expansion ensures that the scheme correctly ...Open AccessArticle -
Does Upper Airway Deformation Affect Drug Deposition?
Published 2019Knowledge that enables the accurate simulation of drug deposition in the human upper airway is necessary to develop robust platforms for efficient drug delivery by inhalation devices. The human upper airway is deformable ...Open AccessArticle -
Potential effects of lingual fats on airway flow dynamics and particle deposition
Published 2019Fat content on upper airway soft tissue can alter the geometry of the human pharynx, most notably through narrowing of the upper airway at the level of the epiglottis. Despite the important role of the epiglottis during ...Open AccessArticle -
The effects of upper airway tissue motion on airflow dynamics
Published 2019The human upper airway is not only geometrically complex, but it can also deform dynamically as a result of active muscle contraction and motility during respiration. How the active transformation of the airway geometry ...Open AccessArticle -
Effect of an upstream grid on the fluidization of pharmaceutical carrier powders
Published 2020The influence of grid generated mixing on the fluidization of pharmaceutical carrier powders 15 is studied in a channel-flow experiment using direct high-speed imaging and particle image 16 velocimetry (PIV). Four different ...Open AccessArticle
