Numerical and experimental exploration of flow through a teeth-shaped nozzle

An asymmetrical constricted rectangular nozzle is designed representing upper incisors in the oral tract. Steady flow through the nozzle is studied for a fixed constriction degree of 70% and bulk Reynolds number Re b =4000. Flow data are obtained numerically by Large Eddy Simulation as well as exper...
