Modeling of conjugate forced convection using effective boundary conditions: From plane channel to the human nose

Puntos clave

• Modeling conjugate forced convection can improve understanding of airflow across the human nose, and thus enhance thermal regulation.
• Heat transfer dynamics were evaluated using effective boundary conditions, and the results indicate variations across the nasal cavity.
• Analysis utilized fluid dynamics principles to simulate airflow in a plane channel, transitioning to the anatomy of the human nose.
• This modeling approach underscores the importance of precise boundary conditions in predicting respiratory thermoregulation.
