Notes:
A three-dimensional stochastic model, which is effective for the convective diffusional deposition of aerosol particles, was developed starting from Langevin's equation. The model was utilized to simulate collection and agglomeration processes of particles on a cylindrical fiber. By obtaining the distribution of captured particles on a fiber and the evolution of the collection efficiency of a dust-loaded fiber through the simulation, the effect of Peclet number, interception parameter, and the accumulated mass of particles on them were discussed. Further, the collection efficiency of a dust-loaded fiber was correlated by using a linear function of the accumulated mass of particles in a unit filter volume. Dependence of coefficient in the linear function, collection efficiency raising factor on Peclet number, and interception parameter were also discussed.
