Patient specific numerical simulation of flow in the human upper airways, for assessing the effect of nasal surgery

The grid sensitivity was investigated by comparing the base-case mesh to a refined mesh consisting of 6.8 million grid cells (size limitation of 0.8mm) and a

To discretize the compressible Navier-Stokes equations by the finite difference method, the physical domain for flow over a soft palate is transformed into a Cartesian

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was employed to do investigations of an obstructive sleep-apnea syndrome (OSAS) patient who underwent nasal surgery. The realizable k-ε

CFD simulations of laminar flow in the patient’s upper airway show that after nasal surgery the mass flow is more evenly distributed between the two nasal cavities

A distinct difference can be seen between the left- and the right nasal cavity both be- fore and after surgery, in addition to differences between the pre- and post-operative
