Analysis of the Flow in Dynamically Changing Central Airways

To analyse the dynamic flow in central airways, a workflow has been established which finally enables numerical simulation with simultaneous consideration of natural deformed geometries and inversion of flow direction. A comprehensive description of the radiologic experiments, the segmentation methods and the simulation procedure is given. Finally results gained from simulations in static and dynamic airways are presented and discussed.
