We investigated (1) how nasal septal perforations (NSPs) modify nasal airflow and air-conditioning characteristics and (2) how the modifications of nasal airflow are influenced by the size and location of the NSP. Computed tomography scans of 14 subjects with NSPs were used to generate nasal cavity models. Virtual repair of NSPs was conducted to examine the sole effect of NSPs on airflow. The computational fluid dynamics technique was used to assess geometric and airflow parameters around the NSPs and in the nasopharynx. The net crossover airflow rate, the increased wall shear stress (WSS) and the surface water–vapor flux on the posterior surface of the NSPs were not correlated with the size of the perforation. After the virtual closure of the NSPs, the levels in relative humidity (RH), air temperature (AT) and nasal resistance did not improve significantly both in the choanae and nasopharynx. A geometric parameter associated with turbinate volume, the surface area-to-volume ratio (SAVR), was shown to be an important factor in the determination of the RH and AT, even in the presence of NSPs. The levels of RH and AT in the choanae and nasopharynx were more influenced by SAVR than the size and location of the NSPs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The location of nasal septal deviation (NSD) directly impacts nasal physiology. The objective is to examine, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the difference in the airflow and air conditioning characteristics according to the location of NSD. Twenty patients with septal deviation were divided into two: 10 caudal septal deviation (CSD) and 10 posterior septal deviation (PSD). Physiological variables were compared and numerical models for nasal cavity were created with CT scans. Cases with CSD had distinctive features including restricted airflow partition, larger nasal resistance, and decreased surface heat flux in the more obstructed side (MOS), and lower humidity and air temperature in the lesser obstructed side (LOS). Physiological differences were observed according to the location of septal deviation, CSD cases exhibit significantly more asymmetric airflow characteristics and air conditioning capacity between LOS and MOS.

Septoturbinoplasty is a surgical procedure that can improve nasal congestion symptoms in patients with nasal septal deviation and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. However, it is unclear which physical domains of nasal airflow after septoturbinoplasty are related to symptomatic improvement. This work employs computational fluid dynamics modeling to identify the physical variables and domains associated with symptomatic improvement. Sixteen numerical models were generated using eight patients' pre- and postoperative computed tomography scans. Changes in unilateral nasal resistance, surface heat flux, relative humidity, and air temperature and their correlations with improvement in the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) score were analyzed. The NOSE score significantly improved after septoturbinoplasty, from 14.4 ± 3.6 to 4.0 ± 4.2 (p < 0.001). The surgery not only increased the airflow partition on the more obstructed side (MOS) from 31.6 ± 9.6 to 41.9 ± 4.7% (p = 0.043), but also reduced the unilateral nasal resistance in the MOS from 0.200 ± 0.095 to 0.066 ± 0.055 Pa/(mL·s) (p = 0.004). Improvement in the NOSE score correlated significantly with the reduction in unilateral nasal resistance in the preoperative MOS (r = 0.81). Also, improvement in the NOSE score correlated better with the increase in surface heat flux in the preoperative MOS region from the nasal valve to the choanae (r = 0.87) than in the vestibule area (r = 0.63). Therefore, unilateral nasal resistance and mucous cooling in the preoperative MOS can explain the perceived improvement in symptoms after septoturbinoplasty. Moreover, the physical domain between the nasal valve and the choanae might be more relevant to patient-reported patency than the vestibule area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The transition mode of canard rotor/wing (CRW) aircraft is complex and important. During the transition flight, components that generate lift are transferred from one to another, in addition, the redundancy of control system may induce control conflict even plane crash if they don't cooperate well. It is significant to investigate the trim strategy, redundant control, and flight dynamics characteristics of CRW during transition flight. First, aerodynamic forces and moments were calculated by combining the blade element theory, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and engineering estimation, and the motion equations of CRW in transition mode are established. Next, by analyzing the principle of transition flight, a trim strategy is proposed, and the trim results are credible and reasonable. Then, a control model for solving redundant control is proposed, which can realize simple and effective control during the transition process. Finally, by analyzing the eigenvalues, it is found that the stability of most modes grows with the increase of forwarding flying speed in the transition process, whereas the variation of minority modes is complicated. The results demonstrate the complexity of dynamic characteristics of CRW in transition mode. The trim strategy and control model and the analysis of the dynamic characteristics in the paper can be used for the subsequent control system design and overall optimization design.

In the present work, hydrodynamics and mass-transfer performance of vapor–liquid flow of orthogonal wave tray (OWT) column was studied. Dry pressure drop, operating range (capacity graph) and overall column efficiency of OWT column were investigated using pilot columns. A three-dimensional CFD model was developed within the two-phase Eulerian framework to have an insight into the two-phase flow and mass-transfer behavior of OWT. The simulated results were compared with experimental data and showed a good agreement. Hydrodynamic and mass-transfer behaviors were revealed with the aid of velocity profiles, streamlines, interfacial area density distribution and so on. The effects of vapor/liquid load (FS factor) on the Murphree tray efficiency were also studied. The simulations of OWT with different waves showed that the pressure drop, clear liquid height, froth height and Murphree tray efficiency increase with the increase of slope, and OWT with middle slope tended to have more uniform foam layer. Comparison of the liquid-phase component velocity between OWT and ripple shows that OWT has better performance in froth layer distribution and stability. The mass-transfer data showed that OWT not only had almost the same “peak efficiency” as sieve tray, but also had higher capacity and stability, it was suitable for capacity expansion.

In the present study, numerical simulations of liquid/gas flow behavior on ripple tray have been carried out, and an inhomogeneous Euler–Euler model coupled with the SST turbulence model has been applied. Calculations are carried out using the ANSYS CFX 12.0. Validation of the predictions of macroscopical parameters including clear liquid height, dry/irrigate pressure drop is made against the measurements. Detailed insights into the hydrodynamic behavior are obtained by CFD post-processing. Comparison with sieve tray is made and the advantages of ripple tray are well illustrated in the analysis of flow field. Dual-diameter perforated ripple tray is also investigated and the result indicates that it performs better in terms of pressure drop and operational flexibility.

A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to predict the hydrodynamics of a new type of fixed valve tray. The model considered gas- and liquid-flow within the Eulerian framework in which both phases were treated as interpenetrating continuum having separate transport equations. Interphase momentum transfer term was employed for describing the interfacial forces between the two phases, and the related average gas hold-up was obtained via the regression equation from experiment data. Calculations were carried out using the commercial packages ANSYS CFX 12.0. Clear liquid height, gas hold-up, and gas and liquid velocity profiles were predicted for various combinations of weir height, gas, and liquid flow rates. The predicted clear liquid height was generally in good agreement with measurement. The information predicted by the CFD model can be used in the optimal design of industrial trays.

An ink transfer process from the printing roll to the moving web was investigated using a computational fluid dynamics technique for the roll-to-roll application in the area of printed electronics. Emphasis was made on the shape of the transferred ink pattern in a realistic configuration. The shear-thinning effect of the conductive ink was treated using a generalized non-Newtonian fluid model. That is, the coefficients of the Carreau model were determined using the fluid dynamic property information of the commercially available conductive ink used in the roll-to-roll process. Also, the web handling speed was matched with that of the typical roll-to-roll process applied in printed electronics. Computational results show that the spatial variation of the shear rate is quite significant in the present configuration; therefore, the Carreau model better predicts the shape of the measurement data than Newtonian fluid in the range of the line thickness of 100–500 µm. It is also noted that the non-uniformity of the transferred ink that is experimentally observed is better predicted by the non-Newtonian model. It is conjectured that the distortion of the shape and the non-uniform distribution of the transferred ink are the prime sources for deterioration in printing quality. However, the fact that web handling speeds of up to 30 mpm (=0.5 m/s) do not significantly aggravate the degree of distortion still supports the main advantage of a cost-effective, continuously running roll-to-roll process in this speed range.

Abstract: Time-dependent characteristics of the flow in a human nasal airway constructed from the CT image of a healthy volunteer were investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. To capture the time-varying nature of the flow as well as pressure and temperature fields, the large eddy simulation (LES) technique instead of the RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes) approach was adopted. To make the present analysis more relevant to a real human breathing cycle, the flow was designed to be induced by the pressure difference and the time-varying pressure at the end of trachea was described to reproduce the flow rate data from the measurement. Comparison of the present results with those of typical steady simulations showed that the difference in flow characteristics is magnified in the expiration phase. This fact may suggest that the inertial effect associated with unsteady flow is more important during the expiration period. Also, the fact that the distribution of the flow rate in a given cross-section of the airway changes significantly with time implies the importance of unsteady data for clinical decision. The wall shear stress was found to have relatively high values at the locations near nasopharynx and larynx but the magnitude changes with time during the whole respiratory cycle. Analysis of the temperature field showed that most of the temperature change occurs in the nasal cavity when the air is incoming and thus, the nasal cavity acts as a very efficient heat exchanger during an inspiration period.

The air-conditioning characteristics in nasal cavity models obtained from two subjects exhibiting different degrees of the nasal cycle states in terms of the airflow partition were investigated using computational fluid dynamics. A constant inspiratory flow rate of approximately 250 mL/s was considered, and the air temperature and relative humidity at the inlet were assumed to be 25 °C and 35%, respectively. The air-conditioning capacities of the congested and decongested sides were assessed by the amounts of epithelial heat and water vapor transferred to the inhaled air through the airway from the nostrils to the end of the septum. The results revealed that the air temperature and relative humidity near the end of the septum, respectively, reached approximately 31.4–32.5 °C and 81.4–88.0% in the decongested sides and 34.0–35.9 °C and 95.3–100% in the congested sides. The differences seen in the air temperatures and relative humidity between the congested and decongested sides were found to be larger in the cavity model that showed a larger degree of reciprocal change in the airflow rate. From a fluid mechanics perspective, while the congested side is in a rest period during the nasal cycle such that a lower amount of airflow is transported through it, this side, in effect, works to provide assistive air-conditioning capacity to the nasal cavity and aids when insufficiently conditioned airflow passes through the decongested side so that the inhaled air merging after the septum can approach the alveolar condition favorably through the nasopharynx. • Air-Conditioning characteristics were investigated in presence of nasal cycle states. • Air temperature and relative humidity distributions were examined. • Air temperature and relative humidity were higher in the congested side. • The decongested side is not able to properly condition increased airflow rate.

In this study, we examined the effect of uncinectomy on the alteration in local airflows and on the resulting effect on gas exchange in the maxillary sinus, by using computational fluid dynamics in two nasal cavity models: one with a preserved uncinate process, and the other with the uncinate process removed virtually. Uncinectomy distinctively changed the local flow topology by triggering the formation of counter-rotating vortices in the ostiomeatal complex, except for the instants with relatively low airflow rate when the respiration phase changed, ultimately leading to a change in the velocity field inside the ostium and maxillary sinus. Despite a significant increase in the maximum air velocity through the maxillary ostium, ventilation was found to increase only slightly when the uncinate process was removed. Furthermore, the degree of maxillary sinus ventilation by inhaled air was comparable to that by exhaled air. This was true to both models and was independent of the presence of the uncinate process.

We used computational fluid dynamics to study the effects of the nasal cycle on the modification of unilateral nasal resistance using nasal cavity models from 2 different patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. A steady airflow field with an inspiratory flow rate of 250 mL/s was simulated using ANSYS-FLUENT v14.5. The distribution of local unilateral nasal resistance showed different shapes of variation and magnitudes of resistance depending on the distribution of cross-sectional area in the nasal cavity models. The highest local resistance on the congested side was found near the nasal valve area in the first patient, whereas the highest value was found in the nasal vestibule for the second patient. The relative importance of nasal resistance in the turbinated air passage differed for the 2 patients. The unilateral resistance of the congested state was in the range of 0.0229–0.221 Pa s/mL. In the inferior meatus, greater flow rate was allowed during the congested state than during the decongested state if an extensive backflow developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
