Abstract [en]

Anatomically accurate 3D models of 10 healthy nasal cavities are developed from computerized tomography (CT) scan images. Considering anatomical and physiological importance of different parts of the nasal cavity, the surface of each nasal passage is divided to eleven anatomical surfaces. Also the coronal cross sections in the nasal passage are divided to six sub-sections that share the total nasal passage airflow. The details of the flow field, heat transfer and water-vapor transport are numerically investigated for resting and low activity conditions. The mean and standard deviation of the different anatomical and air conditioning parameters such as: surface area, wall shear stress, heat and moisture transfer on different parts of the nasal passage surfaces and volume flow rates through different sections are presented. Results show that the percentages of airflow for inferior, middle and superior meatuses are 11.3 +/- 6.4, 36.5 +/- 9.5, 1.9 +/- 0.81 % respectively and 4.1 +/- 2.1 % of air passes through olfactory area. The inhaled air passing from the remaining surface (main passage) is 46.2 +/- 10 %. Heat and moisture fluxes are highest in the anterior part of the nasal cavity, turbinates and lower part of the septum respectively. The percentage of the heat transfer from turbinates is 25.7 +/- 3.9 % of total nasal heat transfer.
