Surface tension effects on flow dynamics and alveolar mechanics in the acinar region of human lung
Background: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, in-vitro setups, and experimental ex-vivo approaches have been applied to numerous alveolar geometries over the past years. They aimed to study and examine airflow patterns, particle transport, particle propagation depth, particle residence...
