Tóm tắt

The time-dependent variation of airborne particle concentration for different sizes in a test chamber was numerically predicted with drift-flux model. The performance of the drift-flux model for particle transport in different kinds of airflow fields was analyzed. The results show the drift-flux model can predict the transport of indoor fine particles reasonably well. When the air flow field varies slowly, the model can predict both the time-dependent variation ratio of the particle concentration and final stable concentration very well, and the difference for particles with different sizes can be also well predicted. When the air flow varies drastically, the accuracy of the model is decreased due to the neglect of the particles’ independent convective terms in the air flow.
