(CFD)<br />
• Measures flow characteristics: velocity,<br />
turbulence, pressure, wall sheer stress<br />
• RANS Formulation (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Strokes)<br />
– To date, most popular formulation to evaluate<br />
flow <strong>in</strong> the upper respiratory tract<br />
– Assumes rigid airway, not tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to account<br />
