Spatial and Temporal Variation of Turbulence during Oscillatory Flow in Realistic Model Human Airways

Spatial and Temporal Variation of Turbulence during Oscillatory Flow in Realistic Model Human Airways

Turbulence in the oscillatory flow in realistic model human central airways was measured by particle image velocimetry (PIV) to reveal the nature of turbulence in a lung. The transparent silicone model of multi-branching airways was fabricated from X-ray CT images by rapid prototyping. The multi-bra...
