      The heart is a complex system. From the transmembrane cell activity to the spatial organization in helicoidal fibers, it includes several spatial and temporal scales. The heart muscle is surrounded by two main tissues that ...
    • Fluid–structure interaction of human nasal valves under sniff conditions and transport of inhaled aerosols: A numerical study 

      Calmet, Hadrien; Santiago, Alfonso; Cajas, Juan Carlos; Langdon, Cristobal; Eguzkitza, Beatriz; Houzeaux, Guillaume (Elsevier, 2022)
      Article
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      The nasal valve is the narrowest part of the nasal airway which is responsible for the largest part of the nasal resistance. Even little changes in the aperture can affect the flow downstream through the nose significantly. ...
