Model airflow and particle transport around stockpiles, buildings, and industrial sites. Compare wind-fence height, porosity, and placement. Assess aerosol capture and escape, then use a clear comparison of design options to guide your next engineering decision.
For one stockpile source, modeled ideal capture of 10-micron particles increased from 11% without a fence to 87% with a 25 m perimeter fence, at a wind speed of 45 m/s at 10 m elevation.
Four scenarios compared fenced and unfenced layouts at 5 and 45 m/s, tracking particles from 2.5 to 50 microns in a model with over 13 million mesh elements.
Ideal capture counts particles settling within the yard or striking the fence. These are case-specific simulation results, not measured emissions reductions or guaranteed field performance.
