Abstract

Due to the worldwide pandemic, estimation of inhaled dose through in silico models has become crucial. The present study compares airflow distribution and particle deposition inside the respiratory tract using RANS and LES modelling. RANS approach underestimated particle deposition because it only solves the mean flow, affecting particle path.
