Abstract
It is very important to separate particulate matter before their leaving into the air because of their harmful impact on human health. It exists a lot of devices, which can separate these particles. But their implementation and operation in small heat source can be considerably difficult on finances, and often have complex maintenance. Therefore, it is important to look for solutions of reduction the producing of particulate matter with easier maintenance and also less financial difficulty. This article deals with flow modelling of particulate matter by using baffles placed in the flue tract of wood stove. Influence of baffles is observed by using CFD simulations.

Flue gases from biomass combustion contains relatively high amount of particles smaller than 10 μm (PM10)

Elimination of particulate matter can be achieved by various ways
Summary
Flue gases from biomass combustion contains relatively high amount of particles smaller than 10 μm (PM10). Reduction of particulate matters can be achieved primarily by optimizing the air flow and flue gases flow in the combustion chamber, secondary by use of separator [3]. The fourth are acoustic separators by agglomeration resulting from sound waves and the fifth is electrostatic precipitation by electrostatic forces [4, 5] These implementation and operation of separators in small heat source can be considerably difficult on finances, and often have complex maintenance. For separation of particulate matter in wood stove is designed a model of flue tract with baffles. Their effect is observed by using CFD simulations. CFD is an abbreviation for computational fluid dynamics, which is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical analysis and algorithms to solve and analyse problems that involve fluid flows [7, 9]
