Abstract:
In order to evaluate the particle exposure level of people indoor, and to improve indoor air quality, research for the particle distribution in residential kitchen is important. In this paper, a residential kitchen is investigated numerically, and the spread and distribution of particles are simulated detailed using the mixture two-phase model. We focused on the particles transportation in different ventilation methods. The four different conditions are designed for simulating the two-phase flow pattern, and the results of particle concentration of different ventilation methods and different p

Abstract:
Cross-contamination between occupants in an indoor space may occur due to transfer of infectious aerosols. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) provides detailed insight into particle transport in indoor spaces. However, such simulations are site-specific. This study couples CFD with statistical moments and establishes a framework that transitions site-specific results to generating guidelines for designing “healthy” indoor spaces. Eighteen cases were simulated, and three parameters were assessed: inlet/outlet location, air changes per hour, and the presence/absence of desks. Aerosol release due

The goal of this study is to improve thermal comfort and indoor air quality with the adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model and improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. A method to optimize air conditioning parameters and installation distance is proposed. The methodology is demonstrated through a prototype case, which corresponds to a typical laboratory in colleges and universities. A laboratory model is established, and simulated flow field information is obtained with the CFD software. Subsequently, the ANFIS model is employed instead of the CFD model to pr

Abstract:
Particulate Matter (PM) is a general term to classify air pollutants consisting of airborne particles. The particles vary in composition and size, and the sizes of particles range from 2.5 µm (PM2.5) to 10 µm (PM10). Anthropogenic activity (e.g., industrial processes or fuel/waste combustion) stands as the main emission source of PM. Due to the fact that indoor PM penetrates from the outside to indoor air, Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) filtration systems may play a significant role in decreasing air pollution indoors.

Abstract:
Dust particle resuspension from indoor surfaces is an important source of particulate matter in indoor environments. The adhesive force represents the resistance of the particle to resuspension in an air stream and is a key factor in the resuspension process. The present study used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to measure the adhesive forces between three particle samples and four common indoor surfaces including acrylic, marble, epoxy flooring and wood flooring. The effects of different indoor surfaces were investigated using 12 particle–surface combinations. The results show that the aver

The turbulent airflow field and particle motion are computed alternately.

In this study, we developed a ventilation and filtration control strategy to determine the optimal control mode and flow rate of the system to meet indoor PM (especially PM2.5) concentration, ensure adequate indoor air quality (IAQ), a

Concern regarding the health effects of indoor air quality has grown in recent years, due to the increased prevalence of many diseases, as well as the fact that many people now spend most of their time indoors.

Abstract:
Study of particle dispersion in ventilated indoor environments is a very useful and effective way to understand the mechanism for disease transmission in an enclosed environment. In this investigation, a computational approach is adopted in order to gain more knowledge about the transport of particulate materials in a simplified half cabin model of a Boeing 767. The simulations are performed using a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software and are validated through comparing the predictions with the corresponding experimental measurements. The Lagrange-Euler approach is invoked i

Abstract:
Urban air pollution has been of concern due to its adverse effect on human health. A major portion of urban air pollution is attributed to vehicle emissions. Center of Excellence (CoE) Building was built in Syracuse NY at the intersection of two major highways. The building is fully instrumented for assessing outdoor and indoor air pollutions. In this study the airflow and the dispersion of particulate air pollutants emitted from the highways surrounding the CoE building were analyzed. The wind flow around the model of the CoE building was first simulated using the RANS model. Comparison of th

Abstract:
To promote active transportation modes (such as bike ride and walking), and to create safer communities for easier access to transit, it is essential to provide consolidated data-driven transportation information to the public. The relevant and timely information from data facilitates the improvement of decision-making processes for the establishment of public policy and urban planning for sustainable growth, and for promoting public health in the region. For the characterization of the spatial variation of transportation-emitted air pollution in the Fresno/Clovis neighborhood in California, v
