Spray Particle Deposition in Human Airways

Application ID: 125741


This example demonstrates how to import and repair a surface mesh from an STL file, and to create a mesh to simulate nasal spray application inside the human upper airways. It further demonstrates how to combine the repaired mesh with the geometry of a nasal spray, then to remesh and create a boundary layer mesh suitable for the fluid flow simulation. Finally, the model solves for the fluid flow, simulating the process of inhaling through the nostrils while injecting particles through the nasal spray.
