Effect of source location on particle dispersion in displacement ventilation rooms

A proposed computer model for predicting aerosol particle dispersion in indoor spaces was validated with experimental data found in th literature,and is then used to study the effect of the area and point source locations on particle dispersion in displacement ventilation(DV) rooms The results show that aerosol source location has a strong impact on the spatial distribution and removal rate of indoor particles.Particle remova performance depends strongly on ventilation efficiency and particle deposition rate on indoor surfaces.Important consideration for both relativ ventilation efficiency and deposition rate consists of the position of the aerosol source relative to the main airflow pattern and the occupied zone.
