Computational Analysis of Respiratory Tract with 2D and 3D Models

One of the most unique systems in the human body is human respiratory system. Being suited with the task of gas exchange across the respiratory surface, each aspect of the human lungs plays an interconnected role in ensuring that this process is carried out effectively and efficiently. The primary function of the respiratory system entails the intake of oxygen into the body and the expulsion of carbon dioxide from the body. The pathway by which the air enters to the nasal cavity passes to the trachea to the bronchi then to the bronchioles and finally to alveolus. Analysis of respiratory tract is important to study the mechanical process during inspiration and expiration. This analysis can provide an insight about the input and output parameters involved during Inspiration and Expiration. With the help of computational studies such details about the analysis of respiratory tract can be investigated in detail. Laminar viscous model has been used to depict the real time scenario. The pressure and velocity parameters were analysed to get the results.
