Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study investigating the effects of torso geometry simplification on aspiration efficiency

In previous studies truncated models were found to underestimate the air's upward velocity when compared to wind tunnel velocity studies, which may affect particle aspiration estimates. This work compared aspiration efficiencies using three torso geometries: 1) a simplified truncated cylinder;...
