Research Projects at BU
Multi-scale Modeling and Simulation of the Respiratory System
• Developed the methodology to generate smooth structured mesh for bifurcations and tubular structures
• Reconstructed the complete human large airway model from mouth to generation 6 based on MRI and CT images
• Developed a hybrid computational model of the respiratory system including the large airways, hypothetical small airway trees, and alveolar tissue unit
• Performed unsteady CFD simulations of air flow and particle motions in the large airway model, and computed the lung input impedance
• Developed MATLAB programs for visualization of the whole 3D airway tree structure
• Current efforts: particle deposition in the large airway model, airway-parenchyma interdependence
