The present study shows a symmetric third-generation lung model by considering a specific position for targeted drug delivery (see Figure 30.1a). Left lung is chosen as the targeted region for the particle transport direction and deposition, as the left lung is correspondingly longer and narrower than the right lung (19). In this study, the effects of inhalation flow rates, particle sizes, position of magnetic fields, and magnetic field strength on particle deposition in the left lung will be modeled. The outcomes of this work may assist in developing improved and efficient drug delivery systems in targeted regions of lungs
