Direct numerical simulation of particle laden flow in a human airway bifurcation model
(2016)During the delivery of inhaled medicines, and depending on the size distribution of the particles in the formulation, airway bifurcations are areas of preferential deposition. Previous studies of laminar flow through airway ...

In silico assessment of mouth-throat effects on regional deposition in the upper tracheobronchial airways
(2018)Regional deposition of inhaled medicines is a valuable metric of effectiveness in drug delivery applications to the lung. In silico methods are now emerging as a valuable tool for the detailed description of localized ...

Particle deposition in a realistic geometry of the human conducting airways: Effects of inlet velocity profile, inhalation flowrate and electrostatic charge
(2016)Understanding the multitude of factors that control pulmonary deposition is important in assessing the therapeutic or toxic effects of inhaled particles. The use of increasingly sophisticated in silico models has improved ...

Rate of convergence for vanishing viscosity approximations to hyperbolic balance laws
(2011)The rate of convergence for vanishing viscosity approximations to hyperbolic balance laws is established. The result applies to systems that are strictly hyperbolic and genuinely nonlinear with a source term satisfying a ...
