Airflow and Particle Deposition in Acinar Models with Interalveolar Septal Walls and Different Alveolar Numbers

Unique features exist in acinar units such as multiple alveoli, interalveolar septal walls, and pores of Kohn. However, the effects of such features on airflow and particle deposition remain not well quantified due to their structural complexity. This study aims to numerically investigate particle d...
