摘要

The nasal spray characteristics and its drug delivery efficiency in a realistic human nasal cavity was studied in this paper. Commercial pharmaceutical nasal spray devices were utilized for spray formation under physiologically reasonable actuation force. External spray plume characteristics such as the spray cone angle and break-up length were captured via particle/droplet image analysis (PDIA) approach. Numerical spray simulations were conducted by utilizing those experimental data as boundary conditions, where the nasal spray device was inserted into a realistic adult nasal passage. ğ‘˜âˆ’𜔠SST model was used to predict the transitional turbulence flow. The spray direction was aligned with the centerline of the nasal valve to avoid unnecessary early droplets deposition in the vestibule. Particle delivery efficiencies of selected micro-particle size (5 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, and 50 μm) were assessed. The results demonstrated that the narrowed vestibule channel structure significantly constrained the development of the spray plume, and considerable amount of particles were blocked due to the limited droplets travelling space. For large sized micro-particles (name the size value), inertia dominates their fly paths, and particles were deposited shortly after releasing, while for the small sized particles (name the size value), they can follow the airflow streamlines and travel further downstream due to the reduced inertia effects; however, more particles would pass through the nasal turbinate and may deposit into the lungs, which is harmful as well. This study demonstrated a combined experimental and numerical approach for the better acknowledgment of nasal spray iterations with realistic human nasal cavity. The proposed combined approach can improve the design of future nasal drug delivery devices, and benefit more patients with elevated drug delivery performance.
