DESCRIPTION:Dry powder inhaler (DPI) development is a focus of
  many drug manufacturer and product development fi
 rms due to the technology's versatility and device
 -drug combination patentability.  The use of cyclo
 ne separators has been the centerpiece of several 
 DPI designs to facilitate drug mixing as well as p
 owder filtration for increased pulmonary delivery 
 performance.  Since the scale of such cyclones (~1
 cm) make it difficult to gather relevant experimen
 tal evidence\, a fundamental study is carried out 
 using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and empir
 ical models to answer the ultimate question: "How 
 to design an inhaler that delivers a consistent do
 se to a wide demographic of patients?"  This brief
  talk will cover considerations in human factors\,
  healthcare\, CFD and optimization\, so all are we
 lcome to join the discussion.
