SDB Patient #5: Pre-treatment instantaneous axial velocity distributions (m/sec) during inspiration along a sagittal plane through the airway model as calculated by unsteady LES. The data presented at two different time instances; the left two images compared to the right two images. Zoomed in views of the velocity field along the airway segment just downstream of the MCSA are shown for each time instance. The figure shows the dynamics of the flow in the airway from one time instance to another.
