Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation of Airflow Patterns and Particle Deposition Characteristics in Children Upper Respiratory Tracts

As findings from studies of airflow patterns and particle deposition in the upper respiratory tracts (URTs) of adults may not be readily extrapolated to studies of the URTs of children, due to the differences in airway anatomy and breathing conditions, the effects of pediatric, physiological feature...
