Abstract
The study simulates of aerosol dynamics including coagulation, deposition and source reinforcement. Typical applications are for nuclear reactor aerosols, aerosol reaction chambers and the production of purified materials. The model determines the aerosol number and volume distributions for an arbitrary number of particle-size classes, called sections. The user specifies the initial aerosol size distribution and the source generation rate of each component in each section.For spatially homogeneous aerosol of uniform chemical composition, the aerosol dynamic equation is solved in closed volume to simulate the radionuclide particle transport in the containment. The effects of initial conditions on the aerosol distribution, boundary layer thickness and the aerosol behaviour under source reinforcement (external source) are considered.
