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

<div>Comparison of particle deposition with different breath depths in the 45-alveoli model: (a) total deposition vs. inhalation depth and the time resolution of sectional cumulative deposition for (b) 0.5 standard <i>V</i><sub>T</sub> (i.e., volume expansion factor: 0.117), (c) 0.75 standard <i>V</i><sub>T</sub> (i.e., volume expansion factor: 0.175), (d) 1.05 standard <i>V</i><sub>T</sub> (i.e., volume expansion factor: 0.245), and (e) 1.1 standard <i>V</i><sub>T</sub> (i.e., volume expansion factor: 0.256).</div>
