Application of CFD to transient flows in compliant lungs Universiteit Gent
Patient-specific simulation of flows in lungs is now straightforward, by segmenting scans from CT and other imaging techniques, creating surface meshes of the lower airways, and using these as the geometries for a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The resulting flows have been used to aid drug deposition studies and the treatment of asthma and COPD. The Airprom project is a European collaborative project aiming to predict the ...
