Abstract In order to figure out the movement and deposition of particles in the respiratory tract of workers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the numerical simulations were performed to study the gas-solid flow characteristics in two types of obstructive airways. Also, the effects of the following parameters, such as obstructive rate (α), lesion location and labor intensity on flow field, particle deposition pattern and deposition efficiency were analyzed. Results indicated that the greater alpha was, the more severe the local anoxia was. When α = 0.8, the relative oxygen deficit was larger than 90%, and the stronger the labor intensity or the deeper the blocking position, the higher the possibility of asthma. Respiratory tract deformation did not change the deposition mechanism of particles, but but had a significant effect on its deposition pattern. The asymmetry of particle deposition distribution enhanced with the increasing α, the labor intensity and particle size, of which was better in lower respiratory tract. Moreover, the respiratory tract deformation reduced the total sedimentation rate (ηt), and the larger α, the smaller ηt. It was also found that α had a more significant effect on ηt for lower labor intensity, lower respiratory tract or particle diameter larger than 5μm.
