Study of nanoparticles deposition in a human upper airway model using a dynamic turbulent Schmidt number

In this paper, the nanoparticles deposition in the upper portion of the human respiratory system is studied by using a dynamic turbulent Schmidt number. The flow and particle governing equations are solved using large eddy simulation (LES) with a localized dynamic subgrid scale closure of the residu...
