CFD Simulation of Airflow Dynamics During Cough Based on CT-Scanned Respiratory Airway Geometries

The airflow dynamics observed during a cough process in a CT-scanned respiratory airway model were numerically analyzed using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The model and methodology were validated by a comparison with published experimental results. The influence of the cough peak f...
