Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
In response to the Covid 19 pandemic, starting in 2020 we also studied aerosol deposition in realistic human lung replicas considering realistic aerosol size distributions. In this context, we investigated the effect of susceptible age as well as the effect of cardiovascular activity on viral load within the respiratory system. In a next step, we proposed a specific slip length model for the Maxwell slip boundary conditions in the Navier-Stokes solution of flow around a microparticle in the no-slip and slip flow regime. In a further work, we extended our research to the interaction between nonspherical particles, i.e. prolate spheroids, and rigid walls, proposing a novel hybrid analytical numerical model to determine the maximum elastic force acting on the particles during wall collision. Recently, we derived a numerical drag and lift prediction framework for superellipsoidal particles in multiphase flows and illustrated the deficiency of commonly used shape-factors in predicting nonspherical particle motion. In this context, we presented a novel framework for determining drag, lift coefficients and torque coefficients of nonspherical particles by performing an excessive number of (offline) DNS simulations that enables accurate (online) modeling and simulation for an unprecedented variety of superellipsoidal particle shapes. Moreover, we showed that Stokes Flow induced drag and torque on asbestos-like fibers can not be estimated by a simplistic ellipsoidal approximation. In addition, we successfully participated in a CFD challenge targeting aerosol transport. As highlighted in the above, our extensive preliminary work puts us in a perfect position to address further challenges of numerical modelling related to suspended micro particles in dilute two-phase flows.
