Investigation of inhalation and exhalation flow pattern in a realistic human upper airway model by PIV experiments and CFD simulations

In this study, flow field characteristics in the trachea region in a realistic human upper airway model were firstly measured by particle image velocimetry (PIV) in the air under three constant inhalation and exhalation conditions: 36 L/min, 64 L/min and 90 L/min, representing flow rates of 18 L/min...
