The numerical results show that as erosion thickness grows in the cylinder, particle self-rotation decreases. Particles are prone to aggregation within the cone, which significantly affects their self-rotation speed. When the erosion thickness is only 2 mm or 5 mm, the slight deformation of the wall surface helps break up particle agglomeration, thereby increasing the particle self-rotation speed. However, when the erosion thickness reaches 10 mm or 15 mm, severe wear and deformation create deeper grooves, which promote particle aggregation (the particle self-rotation speed decreases by 7.2 % and 19.9 % respectively, compared to the cyclone separator without wear). Meanwhile, the larger erosion thickness spawns local vortices that alter particle motion trajectory and make them more likely to be captured by internal quasi-forced vortex.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7232,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Powder Technology","volume":"36 7","pages":"Article 104949"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144185152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to differences in structural design and aerodynamic characteristics, these devices exhibit markedly different drug deposition patterns within the respiratory tract. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive comparative studies investigating their deposition efficiency and underlying mechanisms across distinct regions of the airway. To address this gap, the present study employs CFD-DPM approach to evaluate and compare the deposition and distribution behavior of Breezhaler® and Handihaler® in the MT, TB, and deep lung regions under five pressure drop levels and four particle size conditions. The results indicate that Breezhaler® features a more streamlined internal structure, allowing the airflow to maintain higher and more uniform velocities. In contrast, Handihaler® generates lower overall airflow speeds and exhibits greater velocity gradients and localized turbulence within the oral cavity. For both devices, oral deposition rates increase with rising pressure drops and particle sizes, with Handihaler® consistently showing higher oral deposition, particularly under elevated flow and particle size conditions. In the TB region, Breezhaler® demonstrates superior deposition efficiency compared to Handihaler®. Enhancing TB deposition with Breezhaler® can be achieved by utilizing smaller particle sizes, while Handihaler® can improve TB deposition efficiency even with larger particles by operating under lower pressure drops.
