China ABSTRACT Based on the CT (Computerized Tomography) scanned images of the respiratory tract from a 19-years-old boy, a realistic three-dimensional geometric model from nasal cavity to the upper six-generation bronchial is rebuilt in this paper. In order to investigate airflow and particle deposition in this complex geometric structure, RNG k-ε turbulence model was used to describe the airflow structure and the aerosol particles were tracked and analyzed in the frame of Lagrange. The velocity field and pressure field of airflow, local deposition position of particles in the realistic human upper respiratory tract for three airflow rates such as 15 L/min, 30 L/min and 60 L/min were computed and discussed. The obtained complex airflow structure in model is important for the study of respiration principles. Results indicate that the airflow structure and pressure distribution is strongly affected by airflow rates and respiratory states as inhalation and exhalation. The same characteristic both for inhalation and exhalation is that the maximum velocity is located at pharynx part. Furthermore, the particle deposition position was visualized, which can provide reference for the accurate drug delivery. The regional deposition number of different diameters under different airflow rates was counted. It indicates that deposition in the nasal cavity occupy the major part of total deposition in the whole model. In the bronchia, the particle preferred deposition in the carinal ridge and downstream at the inner tube of the daughter tubes for the effect of impact between particles and wall. And the deposition in the bronch
