Study on the flow in a Nasal Cavity built from CT image

Abstract

We reported that the modeling of the 3-dimensional calculation model of a human nasal cavity was performed based on CT image of a nasal cavity. The modeling is to build from 106 slice images of TIFF formatted and smoothing the surface. After we simulated the flow of the breath in both nasal cavities using the built model using a FEM commercial code, PAM-FLOW. In this paper we show the result of numerical calculation done by the research that we had done were examined.
