SCONA 2023 (Society for Computational fluid dynamics Of the Nose and Airway) was held recently in Brisbane, Australia in conjunction with the 15th Asia-Oceania ORL-HNS Congress and convened by Assoc. Prof Kiao Inthavong from RMIT University<\/span><\/a>. I was fortunate enough to attend the meeting and to present an invited lecture on quality and best practices in CFD applied to flow in inhalers and the nasal\/thoracic passages. The conference was held in dual format with both face to face presentations and recorded lectures with the presenters on-line to introduce their talks and answer questions. I found that the standard of presentations this year was particularly high and, if you weren\u2019t able to make it in person, I recommend watching the recordings which will be made publicly available through the SCONA video series (click here for link)<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>

For me there were a number of highlights that illustrated the power of using CFD for applications relevant to our understanding of the nose and airway.\u00a0 If you are interested in this area, I would recommend the following (in no particular order):<\/p>
