Abstract: The air flow in the human nasal cavity is numerically modeled with the use of the clinical method of measuring of the nasal cavity capacity. Results obtained in this study offer an explanation for the contradiction between the computed data and data obtained during clinical measurements.

Keywords: numerical simulation, nasal cavity, coronary sections, volume flow rate, pressure difference, method of active anterior rhinomanometry.
