TL;DR: Good agreement between the computations and the experimental results suggest that CFD simulations can be used to accurately compute aerodynamic flow characteristics of the upper airway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large Eddy Simulation and Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes modeling of flow in a realistic pharyngeal airway model: an investigation of obstructive sleep apnea.
TL;DR: The paper considers flow modeling in a pharyngeal airway model reconstructed from cross-sectional magnetic resonance scans of a patient with obstructive sleep apnea, and discusses the differences between the airflow characteristics obtained from the RANS and LES calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational Modeling of Upper Airway Before and After Adenotonsillectomy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
TL;DR: Results using computational simulations indicate that, in an obese child, the resolution of OSA after adenotonsillectomy is associated with changes in flow characteristics that result in decreased pressure differentials across the airway walls and thus lower compressive forces that predispose to airway collapse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unsteady laryngeal airflow simulations of the intra-glottal vortical structures.
TL;DR: The negative static pressures associated with the intra-glottal vortical structures suggest that the closing phase during phonation may be accelerated by such vortices, which can affect both vocal fold vibration and voice production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of single and twin circular jets in cross flow
TL;DR: In this article, a 2D-PIV is used to investigate the near field jet dynamics of a single and a tandem twin jet in cross flow at a blowing ratio of 3.
