Optimizing the Entrainment Geometry of a Dry Powder Inhaler: Methodology and Preliminary Results

PURPOSE: For passive dry powder inhalers (DPIs) entrainment and emission of the aerosolized drug dose depends strongly on device geometry and the patient’s inhalation manoeuvre. We propose a computational method for optimizing the entrainment part of a DPI. The approach assumes that the pulmonary de...
