Experimental study of particle deposition in a physical model of human respiratory tract

abstract

en

We performed deposition experiments using a physical model of respiratory airway tract which encompasses respiratory airways from the oral cavity to the 7th generation of bronchial branching. Deposition was studied for steady inhalation and the flow rates used were 15, 30 and 60 LPM. Several types of liquid or solid particles were used and the effect of particles shape on deposition was analysed.
