To investigate the flow patterns in nasal cavity of Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus), we construct an anatomically accurate finite element model of its left nasal cavity from CT scans of a healthy adult nose. By numerically solving the steady-state Navier-Strokes and continuity equations, we study the flow distribution and the complete velocity field for inspiration throughout the nasal cavity under physiological flow rates of breathing. During inspiration, the highest velocity occurred along the nasal floor.
Keywords:Nasal airflow;CT scan;Computational fluid dynamics (CFD); numerical simulation
