In this study, we focused on the decomposition phenomena of vaporized hydrogen peroxide on wall surfaces in indoor environment and discussed a wall surface decomposition model for vaporized hydrogen peroxide using computational fluid dynamics to simulate the concentration distributions of vaporized hydrogen peroxide. A major drawback to using numerical simulations is the lack of sufficient data on boundary conditions for various types of building materials and hence. We also conducted the fundamental chamber experiment to identify the model parameters of wall surface decomposition model for targeting five types of building materials.展开更多
