Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Gravitational Direction on Particle Deposition in Pulmonary Acinus under the Condition of Breath Holding
A two-dimensional CFD simulation is conducted to study the effect of the gravitational direction on particle deposition in pulmonary acinus when the breath is held for a short time. The results show that for the large particles (particle diameters of 1 μm, 2 μm, and 3 μm), gravity is the dominant fo...
