Importance of the numerical schemes in the CFD of the human nose
Andrea Schillaci, Maurizio Quadrio
Computational fluid dynamics of the air flow in the human nasal cavities, starting from patient-specific Computer Tomography (CT) scans, is an important tool for diagnostics and su…

An adjoint-based approach for the surgical correction of nasal septal deviations
Marcello Macellari, Andrea Schillaci, Umberto Tanzini +2
Deviations of the septal wall are widespread anatomic anomalies of the human nose; they vary significantly in shape and location, and often cause the obstruction of the nasal airwa…

Comparing flow-based and anatomy-based features in the data-driven study of nasal pathologies
Andrea Schillaci, Kazuto Hasegawa, Carlotta Pipolo +2
In several problems involving fluid flows, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) provides detailed quantitative information, and often allows the designer to successfully optimize the…
