Modelling the human pharyngeal airway: validation of numerical simulations using in vitro experiments
Franz Chouly, Annemie Van Hirtum, Pierre-Yves Lagrée +2
In the presented study, a numerical model which predicts the flow-induced collapse within the pharyngeal airway is validated using in vitro measurements. Theoretical simplification…
Reproduction of hypopnea phenomenon using a physical and numerical model
Franz Chouly, Annemie Van Hirtum, Pierre-Yves Lagrée +2
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is now considered as a major health care topic. An in-vitro setup which reproduces and simplifies upper airway geometry has been the basis to study…
Physical modelling of the airflow-walls interactions to understand the sleep apnea syndrome
Yohan Payan, Xavier Pelorson, Pascal Perrier
Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is defined as a partial or total closure of the patient upper airways during sleep. The term "collapsus" (or collapse) is used to describe this closure.…
Biomechanical models to simulate consequences of maxillofacial surgery
Yohan Payan, Matthieu Chabanas, Xavier Pelorson +4
This paper presents the biomechanical finite element models that have been developed in the framework of the computer-assisted maxillofacial surgery. After a brief overview of the…
