Table 1 Geometry-flow coupling: Rank order test data between AG\(_1\) and AG\(_2\) deposition fractions at the infective regions, taking combinations of the 15 L/min and 30 L/min simulation findings for \(\eta _k\) (in %), as function of the inhaled particulate diameters d (in \(\mu\)m); see Fig. 2A-B.
