Comparison of integral measures calculated for the average geometry generated using the SSM as well as all 25 individual geometries. These parameters include the left and right nasal resistance as well as the total nasal resistance, the volume-averaged velocity, the surface-averaged wall shear stress, the 99.9 percentiles of the velocity and wall shear stress as well as the airflow partitioning, which is defined as the ratio between the unilateral airflow in the left nasal cavity and the bilateral airflow. Parameters calculated during inspiration and expiration are shown in the upper and lower row respectively. The median of all 25 individual simulations is highlighted as red bar, while the value calculated for the average geometry is highlighted using a blue bar.
