Computational fluid–structure interaction analysis of flapping uvula on aerodynamics and pharyngeal vibration in a pediatric airway

The uvula flapping is one of the most distinctive features of snoring and is critical in affecting airway aerodynamics and vibrations. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of pharyngeal vibration and pressure fluctuation due to uvula flapping employing fluid–structure interaction simulations....
