Needle-Free Jet Injectors’ Geometry Design and Drug Diffusion Process Analysis

In order to study the injection and diffusion process of the drug in the subcutaneous tissue of a needle-free jet injectors (NFJIs) in detail and understand the influence of different nozzle geometry on the diffusion process of the drug, in this paper, numerical simulations were performed to study t...
