FLUIDS ENGINEERING FREEMAN SCHOLAR LECTURE: PARTICLE TRANSPORT,
DEPOSITION AND REMOVAL - ENVIRONMENTAL AND BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS
DATE/TIME: WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 10:30 AM – 12:10 PM
Room: Regency BC
Presenter:

Goodarz Ahmadi, Clarkson University, Robert R. Hill Professor of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering,
Clarkson University

Session Description:
Applications of particle transport, deposition and removal in environmental and biological flows are presented. The mechanics of particulate
pollutant transport and deposition in turbulent flows are discussed. Numerical simulations of airflow with the use of the Reynolds averaged
Navier-Stokes (RANS) equation, as well as DNS and LES are described. The stochastic models for simulation of instantaneous fluctuation velocity
are also discussed. The Lagrangian particle trajectory analysis method is presented, and the effects of various forces including drag, lift, gravity
and Brownian are described. The nature of particle adhesion and removal from surfaces, as well as particle re-entrainment in turbulent flows are
discussed. It is shown that the particle deposition and removal processes in turbulent flows are strongly affected by the near wall flow structures.
Examples of computational modeling of gas-solid flows in ducts, as well as, in indoor and outdoor air are presented. Particular attention is given
to simulation of compact spherical and elongated particulate pollutant transport and deposition in human upper airways. It is shown that
computational modeling provided an efficient tool for studying gas-solid flows in complex passages.
