Abstract

The present work describes an integrated computational model of airflow as well as particle dispersion, breakage and deposition in a Dry Powder Inhaler, DPI. The integrated model combines computational fluid dynamics, CFD, an Eulerian/Lagrangian model for particle motion and deposition, and a particle-wall collision model, which are employed to determine ...
