Because the airways can be characterized by a bifurcating tube network, the secondary flow in the curved portion of a bifurcating tube contributes to cross - stream mixing. In this study the oscillatory flow and concentration fields through a single symmetrical airway bifurcating tube model were numerically analyzed by solving three - dimensional Navier - Stokes and mass concentration equations with the SIMPLER algorithm. The simulation conditions were for a Womersley number, A = 9.1 and Reynolds numbers in the parent tube between 200 and 1000, corresponding to Dn(2)/A(4) in the curved portion between 2 and 80, where Dn is Dean number. For comparison with the results from the bifurcating tube, we calculated the velocity and concentration fields for fully developed oscillatory flow through a curved tube with a curvature rate of 1/10, which is identical to the curved portion of the bifurcating tube. For Dn(2)/A(4) <= 10 in the curved portion of the bifurcating tube, the flow divider and area changes dominate the axial gas transport, because the effective diffusivity is greater than in either a straight or curved tube, in spite of low secondary velocities. However, for Dn(2)/A(4) >= 20, the gas transport characteristics in a bifurcation are similar to a curved tube because of the significant effect of secondary flow.
