Abstract

The expiratory flow in a rigid three-generation airway with one collapsible segment was numerically studied using fluid-structure interaction technique. A self-developed finite element method code was used to calculate the nonlinear deformation of the thin-walled structure, whereas a commercial computational fluid dynamics solver was used to resolve the fluid flow. The elastic tube in the second-generation branch collapsed into wave number N =3 mode. The deformation of the collapsible tube increased the resistance to the fluid flow and formed a jet that altered the downstream flow pattern significantly.
