2008 journal article

Effects of differences in nasal anatomy on airflow distribution: A comparison of four individuals at rest

ANNALS OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, 36(11), 1870–1882.

By: R. Segal*, G. Kepler n & J. Kimbell*

author keywords: Computational fluid dynamics; Nasal airflow simulation; Flow experiments; Flow visualization; Human; Inspiratory airflow
MeSH headings : Adult; Computer Simulation; Female; Humans; Male; Models, Anatomic; Nasal Cavity / anatomy & histology; Nasal Cavity / physiology; Nasopharynx / physiology; Pulmonary Ventilation / physiology
topics (OpenAlex): Nasal Surgery and Airway Studies; Food Supply Chain Traceability; Inhalation and Respiratory Drug Delivery
TL;DR: It is suggested that significant inter-individual differences exist in bulk airflow patterns in the nose as well as streamlines and velocity magnitudes predicted by the computational model. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 journal article

Computer simulations of particle deposition in the lungs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

INHALATION TOXICOLOGY, 14(7), 705–720.

By: R. Segal*, T. Martonen*, C. Kim* & M. Shearer n 

MeSH headings : Aerosols; Air Pollutants / pharmacokinetics; Airway Resistance; Bronchitis, Chronic / metabolism; Computer Simulation; Emphysema / metabolism; Humans; Lung / metabolism; Models, Biological; Particle Size; Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive / metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): Inhalation and Respiratory Drug Delivery; Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technologies; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Research
TL;DR: Airway obstructions are the main cause for increased deposition in the COPD lung, and a computer model successfully depicts PM deposition patterns and their dependence on the severity of disease. (via Semantic Scholar)

2000 article

Comparison of computer simulations of total lung deposition to human subject data in healthy test subjects

Segal, R. A., Martonen, T. B., & Kim, C. S. (2000, July). JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION, Vol. 50, pp. 1262–1268.

By: R. Segal n, T. Martonen* & C. Kim*

MeSH headings : Adult; Aerosols; Air Pollutants / pharmacokinetics; Computer Simulation; Humans; Inhalation Exposure; Lung / drug effects; Particle Size; Reproducibility of Results; Risk Assessment
topics (OpenAlex): Inhalation and Respiratory Drug Delivery; Air Quality Monitoring and Forecasting; Air Quality and Health Impacts
TL;DR: The computer model used to predict the deposition fractions of PM within human lungs was previously validated with human subject data and was used as a control case, and may be applied to risk assessment efforts to estimate the inhalation hazards of airborne pollutants.
