This paper presents the basic features of the hood capture simulation program, HOODTRJ, and the simulations of the flow field and particulate motion in front of the hoods. Incorporating the potential flow theory, aerosol dynamics and computer graphics, the program shows the capture performance of the exterior infinite-flanged hood by animation. The results can be displayed in form of trajectories, capture zone, streamlines and velocity vectors. The parameters considered in the program include hood flow rate, opening geometry of the hood, hood orientation, cross-draft, particulate source geometry, source position, particulate number, and those related to the particle dynamics(density, diameter, diffusion coefficient, release velocity)., …, and so on. In order to obtain the particle trajectories, the program calculates the flow velocity generated by a sucking opening first. The flow velocity is determined by superposing the cross-draft on the flow resulting from sucking. The particle trajectory for a given initial position and release velocity then is calculated by solving the particle motion equation based on the aerosol dynamics. With appropriate parameters and assumptions, the particle trajectory displayed by the program can simulate the dispersion of either aerosol particles or gases. The program considers both rectangular and circular openings of the hoods. For the rectangular openings, the program uses the exact solution to calculate the flow velocity generated by the sucking opening. For the circular openings, the program uses a new interpolation scheme associated with the fractal integration, which results in an excellent compromise on both speed and accuracy. The particulate trajectories are computed by Runge- Kutta 4th order method associated with the diffusion model simulated by random number generation. With the help of the graphic display, the appropriate time step used by the trajectory computation is also discussed. |
