Abstract

The object of the study is the dynamics of air ion spread in rooms from the source of artificial air ionization under different starting conditions. There is currently the problem of distribution of air ions in the room with regulatory concentrations in all critical zones. An effective method of ensuring proper air ion concentrations is to model their propagation from ionization sources. Existing approaches to calculating the dynamics of air ions of both polarities have been improved in this study. Unlike known solutions, the impact on their concentration of electrostatic field and the interaction of air ions with suspended particles was taken into account.

A model of air ion propagation in rooms with artificial air ionization and the principles of its numerical modeling was built. The use of Laplace Equation in the aerodynamic model instead of the Navier-Stokes equation for the potential of the flow rate has made it possible to design an "Ion 3D" tool, which reduces the time of implementation of one scenario from several hours to 7 seconds. Modeling of the propagation of air ions of both polarities in the room under different initial conditions was carried out. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional models with their visualization was implemented. The peculiarity of the resulting models is that they make it possible to determine the concentrations of air ions in any section of the room by three coordinates. Given this, the rapid selection of the variants of the source data makes it possible to achieve the normative values of concentrations of air ions in the area of breathing – exceeding 500 cm-3 of each polarity. Simulation makes it possible to design a room in which, under the condition of artificial ionization of air, the concentrations of air ions close to the optimal values of 3000–5000 cm-3 are provided
