Dry Powder Inhaler

Caption

A Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) project is striving to improve inhalers for young children and people who can’t inhale strongly. The researchers are using CFD modeling to simulate how air flows through a child’s airway, and how particles from an inhaler deliver medication to the mouth, throat, and deeper airways.
