Modelling human upper-airway dynamics and dysfunction

Repetitive closure of the upper-airway characterises obstructive sleep apnea. It disrupts sleep causing excessive daytime drowsiness, and is linked to hypertension and cardiovascular disease.Previous studies simulating the underlying fluid mechanics of two-dimensional channel flow are based upon vel...
