Abstract

Aerosol filtration in fibrous filters is one of the principal methods of removal of solid particles from the gas stream. The classical theory of depth filtration is based on the assumption of existing single fiber efficiency, which may be used to the recalculation of the overall efficiency of the entire filter. There are several reasons for inappropriate estimation of the single fiber efficiency including the assumption of the negligible effect of the presence of neighboring fibers and perpendicular orientation of the homogenous fibers. This work aims to investigate the influence of mesoscale inhomogeneity on fibrous filter performance using Computational Fluid Dynamics in models of filters differed by internal structure.
