Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation of Airflow in the Normal Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses

This study aimed to investigate airflow velocity, trace, distribution, and air pressure, as well as the airflow exchange between the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus in a normal subject using computational fluid dynamics. Fluent software is used to simulate nasal cavity and paranasal sinus structure...
