Cilium height difference between strokes is more effective in driving fluid transport in mucociliary clearance: A numerical study
Mucociliary clearance is the first line of defense in our airway. The purpose of this study is to identify and study key factors in the cilia motion that influence the transport ability of the mucociliary system. Using a rod-propel-fluid model, we examine the effects of cilia density, beating frequ...
