  • First Online:
Clinical and Biomedical Engineering in the Human Nose

Part of the book series: Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering ((BIOMEDICAL))

Abstract

This chapter is the first of two chapters demonstrating the wide variety of CFD studies in clinical applications presented from leading researchers in their respective fields. This chapter covers the latest research techniques and outcomes in airflow and conditioning in the nasal cavity; fluid and particle dynamics from sniffing; nasal obstruction and empty nose syndrome; nasal nitric oxide (nNO) dynamics and the ostiomeatal complex.
