Stability and accuracy of numerical investigation of droplet motion under local ventilation airflow

It is challenging to predict droplet motion in numerical studies of particulate transport in indoor environment. This paper attempts at providing answers on this topic while using a Eulerian–Lagrangian method. The effect of the droplet release number and evaporation on prediction stability and accuracy was evaluated by modeling the droplet motion for two initial droplets (10 and 100 μm) and three different airflow patterns in an upper-receiving...
