Abstract Utilizing a computed tomography (CT)‐based realistic nasal‐to‐lung respiratory tract model allows for comprehensive investigation of the transport and deposition nasal sprayed aerosols. This study has three main objectives: first, to determine optimal mesh that achieves quickest convergence computational fluid‐particle dynamics (CFPD) simulations by assessing performance different element types, sizes, prism boundary layers; second, design validate numerical method compare grid data with structures densities simulation result validation; finally, observe analyze in aid development medications. involves reverse‐engineering anatomically accurate from CT scans. Results reveal approach minimum calculation time is polyhedral hybrid four layers SIMPLE pressure‐velocity coupling scheme. Furthermore, observations particle vocal cords' location contains concentration site deposited small aerosols due turbulent airflow region. The diameters target each region are concluded end.
