Abstract:Fibrous air filters have emerged extensively as a remedial indoor solution to address severe air pollution. To understand the complexities involved in variation of their performance with respect to their fiber anisotropy, a fundamental numerical study is undertaken to investigate the capture of inertia-dominated airborne particles by a fiber-segment at different through-plane orientations with respect to airflow direction. An in-house MATLAB code has been developed using the lattice Boltzmann method to model t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
