Transforming Respiratory Health: Unlocking Airflow Insights with CFD
Transforming Respiratory Health: Unlocking Airflow Insights with CFD
Background
Pulmonary airflow dynamics play a critical role in diagnosing respiratory conditions and ensuring effective drug delivery to targeted regions within the lungs. Abnormal airflow patterns, caused by conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or lung infections, can disrupt normal breathing and lead to complications such as:
Impaired gas exchange: Restricted airflow can prevent oxygen from reaching alveoli, leading to hypoxemia.
Ineffective drug delivery: Inadequate targeting of medications can result in suboptimal treatment outcomes.
Airflow turbulence: Unusual flow behavior can increase strain on lung tissues, exacerbating respiratory conditions.
Understanding these airflow patterns and their implications is vital for improving both diagnosis and therapy. Our research focuses on leveraging Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate airflow in the lungs, allowing us to:
Study the behavior of airflow in various respiratory conditions.
Optimize drug delivery systems to ensure precise targeting of medications.
Develop advanced diagnostic tools based on flow irregularities.
By unraveling the complexities of pulmonary airflow, we aim to enhance the management of respiratory diseases and advance patient care.
