Fluid-structure interactions in the human upper airway — large-displacement biomechanics

Obstructive breathing disorders, such as sleep apnoea and snoring, interfere with normal respiration and sleep, reducing brain-oxygen saturation and are linked with hypertension and heart failure. The mechanics of the human upper airway are characterised by the interaction of the low-stiffness struc...
