Airflow and Pollutant Transport in a Building
Conclusions Computer simulation provides a reasonable tool for studying pollutant transport and deposition. The Eulerian-Lagrangian method for dilute pollutant transport and deposition may be sufficient. Particle size and density as well as the airflow velocity and turbulence intensity significantly affect the deposition process.
