The behavior of charged particles in turbulent gas flow in electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) is a crucial information to design and optimize electrostatic precipitators, so a three-dimensional numerical simulation was performed to predict electrostatic fields, electro-hydrodynamic (EHD) turbulent flow and particle charging and tracing in a wire-plate ESP. For electrostatic field, the traditional finite difference method (FDM) has been widely applied to calculate two-dimensional electrical field in the wire-plate ESP on the base of the symmetry assumption. This new book proposes the upwind (or downwind) scheme to calculate the electrostatic field in the case of positive (or negative) corona. (Imprint: Nova)
