I want to observe particle deposition at different locations of human airway. How to use PIV and what type of experimental set up will be better?
You haven't really described your planned workflow for the CFD, but I would assume you want a DICOM to 3D format (like .stl). There are many many tutorials in this area. From there, it depends on the software you are using for flow analysis.
Yueh Z Lee ! Thanks a lot for your response. Actually, I want to analyze the flow of particles mixed air. and I want to use Ansys (Fluent) for this purpose.
One of my trainees is working on a simple workflow guide to help on the first few steps, and I'll pass it along once we have something complete. ITK-SNAP is one option, if you want to try something out on your own first.
Attique Arshad I am not sure if you are still working on this project, but you may be interested in Simpleware ScanIP (www.synopsys.com/simpleware), this software allows you to import your CT data and use a range of image processing and segmentation tools to create an accurate model of one or more parts and export to a range of CFD packages. You can export full volume meshes for Abaqus, Fluent, OpenFoam, COMSOL in their native formats and there are more generic formats. You can also export surface meshes like STLs, IGES, SAT etc. As the geometry is fairly complex you can also use ScanIP to set up the boundaries and create node sets etc. I hope this is helpful, please let me know if you have any questions.
Dear, Attique Arshad
I have the same opinion as Dr. Celia A. M. Butler .
