Abstract

For the first time, airflow in the nasal cavity of a normal Korean adult is investigated experimentally by PIV measurement. Nasal airflow can be subdivided into two interrelated categories; nasal airflow resistance and heat and mass transfer between the air stream and the walls of the nasal cavity. In this study, thanks to a new method for the model casting by a combination of the rapid prototyping and curing of clear silicone. a transparent rectangular box containing the complex nasal cavity can be made fur PIV experiments. The CBC PIV algorithm is used for analysis. Average and RMS distributions are obtained for inspirational and expiration nasal airflows. Data fer the airflow at the end of meatuses are obtained for the first time. Comparisons between western and Korean nasal airflows are appreciated. Due to the difference in geometry of the frontal part of nasal cavity, the flow near nares shows the difference.
