The performance of a dry powder asthma inhaler was evaluated using advanced CFD simulations. The study focused on an inhaler design that included an inner obstruction and a filter near the mouthpiece—two critical features influencing airflow and particle dynamics. By simulating real operating conditions, the analysis provided a detailed understanding of how these design elements impact overall inhaler efficiency and drug delivery performance.
Key performance characteristics such as aerosol efficiency and maximum particle size distribution were assessed to determine the effectiveness of the device. The insights gained from this study help in optimizing inhaler design for improved patient outcomes and regulatory compliance.
