Numerical simulation study of particle collection processes on isolated obstacle surfaces near the ground surface

In this study, the effects of turbulence around obstacles are considered to improve an existing numerical model for simulating aerosol particle deposition in rough surface environments. The modified numerical model is validated through wind tunnel experiments. Subsequently, the particle collection process on an isolated cylindrical obstacle placed on the ground is investigated using numerical simulations. The effects of different wind conditions, particle properties, and obstacle sizes on the collection process are analyzed. Finally, a fitted relationship between the Stokes number and collection efficiency is proposed.
