Two-way coupling and Kolmogorov scales on inhaler spray plume evolutions from Ventolin, ProAir, and Qvar

Two-way coupling and Kolmogorov scales on inhaler spray plume evolutions from Ventolin, ProAir, and Qvar

Previous numerical studies of pulmonary drug delivery using metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) often neglected the momentum transfer from droplets to fluid. However, Kolmogorov length scales in MDI flows can be comparable to the droplet sizes in the orifice vicinity, and their interactions can modify the...
