Journal ArticleDOI

Computational fluid dynamics for the assessment of upper airway response to oral appliance treatment in obstructive sleep apnea

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in conjunction with patient upper airway scans to understand the response of patients to mandibular advancement splints (MAS) to treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simulation of upper airway occlusion without and with mandibular advancement in obstructive sleep apnea using fluid-structure interaction.

TL;DR: This is the first study of airflow dynamics in a deformable UA structure and inspiratory flow using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and lays a platform for application of computational models to study biomechanical properties of the UA in the pathogenesis and treatment of OSA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Re-entrant jet mechanism for periodic cavitation shedding in a cylindrical orifice

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an experimental investigation of the re-entrant jet mechanism for periodic cloud shedding in a large-scale (8.25mm) cylindrical acrylic orifice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Importance of detailed chemical kinetics on combustion and soot modelling of ventilated and under-ventilated fires in compartment

TL;DR: In this article, a novel in-house computation code based on large eddy simulations (LES) incorporating fully coupled subgrid-scale (SGS) turbulence, combustion, soot and radiation models for turbulent reacting flows in compartment fires has been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The aerodynamic effects on a cornering Ahmed body

TL;DR: In this article, wall-resolved large eddy simulations were used to simulate a simple vehicle shape through three different radii corners, where variable flow angle and acceleration affected the pressure distribution along either side of the body and caused an increase in the size of the outboard C-pillar vortex, and an inboard decrease.
