Reference number : GC-2017-Q1-00440, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Matida, Edgar (Carleton University), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : MMSI (McArthur Medical Sales Inc., Rockton, ON) developed an add-on adapter to connect the Respimat_x000D_
inhaler to commercially available masks that will facilitate the inhalation of ashtma medication by certain_x000D_
patients, normally seniors and children, who may normally lack coordination between actuation and inhalation._x000D_
The effect of introducing the adapter (and mask) on the inhalation performance (medication delivery to the_x000D_
lungs) will be investigated in-vitro (indirectly using idealized mouth-throat-trachea replicas) and compared_x000D_
against the efficiency of the Respimat inhaler alone. Deposition numerical simulations using_x000D_
Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations or DES (Detached Eddy Simulation) for the single phase_x000D_
flow and Lagrangian random walk eddy interaction models (EIMs) for the particulate phase will also be_x000D_
performed and the results will be validated against the experimental data., program purpose french : MMSI (McArthur Medical Sales Inc., Rockton, ON) developed an add-on adapter to connect the Respimat_x000D_
