| Abstract: |
| The airflow in human upper respiratory tract was simulated by using large eddy simulation method with 3D standardized model of realistic human upper respiratory tract under the effect of fluid-solid interaction and cyclic respiratory pattern,and the vortex evolution of airflow in human mouth-throat as well as trachea and bronchi was analyzied.The results show that several vortex tubes are formed in the central of mouth and on the surface of tongue coating,a turbulence jet ejected towards to the anterior wall of the trachea appears in the glottal regional,the horseshoe vortexe which is similar to horseshoe appears on the anterior wall of the trachea in the phase of inhalation;In the phase of exhalation,the complex vortex structure appears on the bottom of the trachea,the vorticity in the trachea decreases and only a stronger vortex tube extends along the trachea with the airflow streams converging,and arch vortex is formed on the posterior wall of throat,then the vortex structure breaks up and there is no big vortex structure in the mouth. |
