Large-scale CFD simulations of the transitional and turbulent regime for the large human airways during rapid inhalation

The dynamics of unsteady flow in the human large airways during a rapid inhalation were investigated using highly detailed large-scale computational fluid dynamics on a subject-specific geometry. The simulations were performed to resolve all the spatial and temporal scales of the flow, thanks to the...
