Figure 3From: Numerical analysis of airflow alteration in central airways following tracheobronchial stent placement Boundary conditions were used in numerical simulations. The constant flow rate of the inlet was set at 100 ml s−1. The constant pressures of the three outlets were applied to 0 Pa. (A) without stenosis; (B) tracheal stenosis; (C) bronchial stenosis for the right primary bronchus with nearly total collapse; (D) bronchial stenosis for the left primary bronchus with nearly total collapse.Back to article page
