<p>Provided is a swallowing simulation device with which the approximate reproduction of the actual phenomena associated with swallowing is easy. The present invention is provided with: an oral cavity modeling unit (10) that forms an oral cavity model (11) comprising oral organs; an organ characteristic setting unit (20) that sets the organ characteristics of each oral organ in the oral cavity model (11); an organ movement setting unit (30) that sets the movement of each oral organ in the oral cavity model (11); a food product physical property setting unit (40) that sets the food product that is the subject of analysis and the physical properties thereof; an input unit (81) that inputs a mock food product that models the food product into the oral cavity; a motion analysis unit (50) that uses a particle method to analyze the motion of each oral organ and the behavior of the mock food product (41) when swallowed in the oral cavity model (11); and a display unit (82) that displays on a video screen the result of the analysis of the motion of each oral organ and the behavior of the mock food product (41) when swallowed as analyzed by the motion analysis unit (50).</p> |
