Effects of replacing the nasal cavity with a simple pipe like structure in CFD simulations of the airflow within the upper airways of OSA patients with patient individual flow rates
OSA is characterized by repetitive collapses of the upper airways during sleep. Computational fluid dynamics can be used to investigate the abnormal pressure distribution in the patient’s airways. The computational costs and model reconstruction effort can be reduced by focusing the simulations on t...
