The comparisons of average particle concentrations in both zones between the computations and the experiments from the literature are generally satisfactory and acceptable. The combined effects of sizes of the opening and the inlet and outlet locations (three different strategies) are simulated and discussed. The results show that ventilation strategy and size of the opening influence the particle removal rate in zone 1. The removal rate is decreased when the air supply system is changed from the top-inlet to the bottom-inlet configuration. The top-inlet system obtains a better particle deposition in zone 1 than the bottom-inlet configuration. However, the particle concentration at breathing level is lower for bottom-supply system than for top-supply. Decreasing the size of inter-zonal opening increases the particle deposition rate in zone 1 only for the top-supply system, especially for coarse particles.展开更多
