Abstract

In this work, Computational analysis of air flow in human respiratory tract model is done by the use of CFD technique. Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) method is used on the third-to-sixth generation simplified respiratory tract model for computational study. The modulus of Elasticity is varied in a range of 1 to 5 MPa and its effect on flow-physics is captured inside human airway model. The variation of velocity and its effect on deformation has been captured for both rigid and flexible model and its analysis is carried out. The result from simulation shows that as the Modulus of elasticity increases, wall deformation decreases.
