Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study of hydrodynamics
flow characteristics and particle transport in a test facility.
Experimental measurements of fluid flow and particle deposition
are studied under isothermal conditions using particle image
velocimetry (PIV) and particle tracking velocimetry (PTV)
techniques. These non-intrusive optical measurement techniques
have been applied in experiment conditions of Reynolds number
Re = 5,077 in a 3-inch square channel and 72-inches in total
length. The fluid within the channel is air seeded with aerosol
droplets while the measurements of particle transport is
facilitated using surrogate particles dispersed in the channel
flow. Results obtained from the PIV and PTV measurements
included the hydrodynamics fluid flow characteristics, and
characteristics of particle transports, such as particle velocity,
particle diameter distributions and particle concentration
profiles. Results from the preliminary test have shown 11.08%
deposition of particles. To supplement this experimental work,
upstream fluid flow characteristics were provided as boundary
conditions for a comparable numerical study
