Overview of Tests
PIV measurements were performed at six different planes within the lung replica (see Fig. 6). The first three planes were located within the inlet tube with the aim to determine the exact inlet conditions. Plane IV corresponds to the central plane of the oral cavity and the pharynx. Note that this plane is tilted by 2o from the exact vertical orientation. The larynx and the upper trachea were imaged by plane V, and plane VI covers the main bifurcation and bronchi. Both planes are vertical. For all of the measurement stations, the mean velocity and turbulent kinetic energy fields from the in-plane velocity components are determined (see section 4 and equations 8-11).
