3D reconstructions of human nasal CFD models from the same MRI data. Model A was generated without any surface smoothing to preserve all of the original surface features that are present in the nasal replica cast used by Kelly et al. (2004b); Model B was generated by slightly smoothing the surface contours, but still retaining local topographical features of the original geometry; Model C was generated by smoothing the surface contours until a more realistic anatomic form was obtained.
