Coarse particle transport in a partitioned room

Abstract

In modern society, people spend most of their time indoor and are constantly exposed to particles. Indoor particles have multiple origins from outdoor soil dust, building materials, to occupants and their activities. Knowledge of transport and deposition of these particles in indoor environments is important in addressing questions concerning occupational exposure, associated health risks and also implementing cleaning strategies. In this work, the movement of particles is investigated considering airflow patterns, particle properties and source positions in a model room.
