Abstract:A model has been developed to represent the stochastic nature of the activated carbon bed within a generic chemical biological radiological and nuclear (CBRN) respirator canister. The porous region is subdivided into discrete sections which are assigned a porosity based on their radial position according to a longitudinally‐averaged porosity model, and then perturbed by some amount according to a Gaussian distribution. The porosity model was used in Reynolds‐averaged Navier‐Stokes (RANS) simulations in order 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.
