Airflow and Particle Deposition in Acinar Models with Interalveolar Septal Walls and Different Alveolar Numbers
Figure 10
Comparison of particle deposition rates between different inhalation depths in the 4-alveoli model: (a) total deposition at different tidal volumes (VT) and the time resolution of sectional cumulative deposition for (b) 2 standard VT (i.e., volume expansion factor: 0.466), (c) 3 standard VT (i.e., volume expansion factor: 0.699), and (d) 4 VT (i.e., volume expansion factor: 0.932). Each respiration cycle has a period of 3.0 s.
