Computational fluid dynamics benchmark dataset of airflow in tracheas.

ABSTRACT: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is fast becoming a useful tool to aid clinicians in pre-surgical planning through the ability to provide information that could otherwise be extremely difficult if not impossible to obtain. However, in order to provide clinically relevant metrics, the accuracy of the computational method must be sufficiently high. There are many alternative methods employed in the process of performing CFD simulations within the airways, including different segmentation and meshing strategies, as well as alternative approaches to solving the Navier-Stokes equations. However, as in vivo validation of the simulated flow patterns within the airways is not possible, little exists in the way of validation of the various simulation techniques. The data presented here con
