Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is an experimental study of a glass fiber deposition in a nasal cast. The geometrical structure of the cast chamber corresponded to the actual shape of a head airways. A three-dimensional tomographic picture of the head airways of a healthy human adult was used as the basis for preparing the cast. The cast consisted of two longitudinal sections what make possible the observation of the deposits after particular experiments. The total and regional—for four defined regions—deposition of fibers with diameter 0.8μm and aspect ratio β=10, 20 and 40 was measured. Using an image memory system analysis the characteristic orientation of deposits at particular region of the cast was determined.
