微流体惯性冲击器过滤性能模拟计算

Numerical Simulation of Performance of Microfluidic Inertial Impactor

  • 摘要: 用微流体惯性冲击器收集μm尺寸气溶胶颗粒是一种新型的过滤方式,弥补了现有过滤收集方式的不足,已有学者进行了可行性论证,但气流在现有的T型惯性冲击器内压力损失较大且冲击器的加工工艺较为繁琐。本文设计并研究了一种新型微流体惯性冲击器,采用CFD软件对微流体惯性冲击器的过滤性能进行了数值模拟。建立了数学模型,对气相采用层流模型,对颗粒相采用离散相模型(DPM)。通过模拟计算,分析了不同尺寸的微流体惯性冲击器对粒子收集效率的影响。结果表明,冲击器转折角和尺寸D对收集效率均有较大影响:转折角越小,收集效率越高;当D≤1/2时,效率曲线基本不变。

     

    Abstract: Collecting micron aerosol particles with microfluidic inertial impactor is a new filtration way, which made up the deficiencies of existing filtration methods and the feasibility has been demonstrated. But airflow pressure loss in the existing microfluidic inertial impactor is large and its processing technology is complex. A new type of microfluidic inertial impactor was designed and studied, and CFD software was used to simulate the characteristics of flow fields and performance of microfluidic inertial impactor. A mathematical model was established. The gas phase used the laminar model and the particles phase used discrete phase model (DPM). By simulation the effects of the impactor with different structure parameters on the collection efficiency were analyzed. The results show that the turning angle and impactor size D have great influence on collection efficiency. The smaller the turning angle, the higher the collection efficiency, and when D≤1/2, the efficiency curve is substantially retained.
