Descripción
Sumario:The distribution of PM2.5 around a thermal manikin with realistic female body shape in a naturally ventilated room has been modelled. The health risk (HR) due to inhalation of the PM2.5 has been quantified by integrating the pollutants mass flux over the boundaries of a virtual box around the mannequin’s head (the breathing zone). By the same approach HR is evaluated over the boundaries of another virtual box that surrounds the manikins body and defines the occupied zone. The paper focuses on the peculiarities of creating and meshing a virtual geometry, as well as on the application of user-defined functions (UDF) for defining a pollutant source within the room using Ansys Fluent modelling package.
