Direct numerical simulation of particle laden flow in a human airway bifurcation model
Stylianou, F. S.; Sznitman, J.; Kassinos, Stavros C. (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 ...

An efficient computational fluid-particle dynamics method to predict deposition in a simplified approximation of the deep lung
Koullapis, P. G.; Hofemeier, P.; Sznitman, J.; Kassinos, Stavros C. (2018)High-fidelity simulations of the complete airway tree are still largely beyond current computational capabilities. Towards large-scale simulations of the human lung, the current study introduces a numerical methodology to ...

Targeted Drug Delivery to Upper Airways Using a Pulsed Aerosol Bolus and Inhaled Volume Tracking Method
Ostrovski, Y.; Dorfman, S.; Mezhericher, M.; Kassinos, Stavros C.; Sznitman, J. (2018)The pulmonary route presents an attractive delivery pathway for topical treatment of lung diseases. While significant progress has been achieved in understanding the physical underpinnings of aerosol deposition in the ...

Transport of ellipsoid fibers in oscillatory shear flows: Implications for aerosol deposition in deep airways
Shachar-Berman, L.; Ostrovski, Y.; Rosis, A. De; Kassinos, Stavros C.; Sznitman, J. (2018)It is widely acknowledged that inhaled fibers, e.g. air pollutants and anthropogenic particulate matter, hold the ability to deposit deep into the lungs reaching the distal pulmonary acinar airways as a result of their ...
