Abstract

Nanoparticles transport in an exposure chamber is investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This exposure chamber is used to assess the lung toxicity in rats resulting from the inhalation of airborne NPs. The mathematical model for airflow is based on the three-dimensional Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes equations with turbulence modelling. Simulations of airborne NPs are based on assumptions such that their motions are similar to the ones of a single sized diameter distribution of a passive contaminant.
