Particle dynamics in liquid-lined lung airways

Every time we breathe in we inhale thousands of particles, some of which may become trapped in the liquid lining of the airway wall. In this thesis we use theoretical fluid dynamics to model various aspects of the dynamics of these particles after their initial deposition on the airway wall. In Chap...
