Particle adhesion in SMN1.

A. Adhesion per unit surface area for branches vs. bifurcations. Particles adhered in significantly larger numbers at bifurcations compared to branches of SMN. Experimental results are averaged from three runs with error bars representing standard deviation.

B. Comparison of adhesion patterns. Expected values are based on theoretical calculations assuming no effect of bifurcations on the adhesion. Simulation values are based on CFD results. Experimental results are averaged from three runs with error bar representing standard deviation. Percentage of particles adhered in bifurcations for both experimental (49%) and simulation (67%) was significantly higher than the expected (24%) values.
