Flow analysis on diseased human airway in second and third generation
The human respiratory system is a complex structure consisted of twenty – three generations of branching airways. The study is to analyze flow characteristic of asymmetrical human airway in normal and disease condition, disease like inflammation and reduction of bronchi diameter. The related disease...

| Summary: | The human respiratory system is a complex structure consisted of twenty – three generations of branching airways. The study is to analyze flow characteristic of asymmetrical human airway in normal and disease condition, disease like inflammation and reduction of bronchi diameter. The related diseases called Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The result shown in alteration of flow and graph based result. In result validation, velocity contours at fem point streamlines location are measured, and compared with previous study. Due complexity of structure and lack lab equipment available, the study used CFD software for analysis medium, The results are significant in improving understanding of flow pattern visually, since the analysis simulating in 3D environment. The data, with improvement, liable to be used for medical purpose, like appropriate Reynolds number to be chose for disease human airway structure. |
