Importance of Physical and Physiological Parameters in Simulated Particle Transport in the Alveolar Zone of the Human Lung
The trajectory and deposition efficiency of micron-sized (1–5 µm) particles, inhaled into the pulmonary system, are accurately determined with the aid of a newly developed model and modified simulation techniques. This alveolar model, which has a simple but physiologically appropriate geometry, and...
