通过人体上呼吸道（中心部分）的空气流动已经进行了使用现实的几何形状。除了解释人体上呼吸道的解剖结构，问题和患者特异性研究的重要性外，本文还提供了一些定性和定量的模拟结果。正如预期的那样，在流动通道狭窄的口咽和咽喉中，剪切力和压力很大。这清楚地表明，这些位置应该是任何旨在以患者特异性方式理解人类上气道塌陷的研究的焦点。版权所有（C）2008约翰威利父子有限公司
Air flow through a human upper airway (central part) has been carried Out using a realistic geometry. In addition to explaining the anatomy, problems and importance of patient-specific study of human upper airways, this article also presents some qualitative and quantitative simulation results. As expected, the shear and pressure forces are large in the oropharynx and laryngopharynx, where the flow passage is narrow. This clearly indicates that these locations should be the focus of any study aimed at understanding the human upper airway collapse in a patient-specific manner.
