Flow Modeling |
| Objective
|
- Predict air flow patterns inside cleanroom
- Study particle dispersion characteristics
- Provide design solution for different applications
|
| Results
|
- Velocity magnitude and direction around work area and
other flow obstructions
- Particle concentration profiles inside cleanroom
- Flow streamlines
- Stagnation regions
|
| Benefits
|
- Provide a flow visualization tool for better
cleanroom designs
- Shorter design cycles and less costly approach than
building mock-ups or other forms of physical testing
- Ensure operator and/or product safety
- Ensure capture of airborne products
