This paper describes a numerical analysis model for simulating airflow patterns and aerosol particle deposition and distribution in a ventilated room. The deposition and concentration of aerosol particles are largely influenced by the particle properties, air movement patterns and ventilation conditions. Indoor pollutants are mainly composed of small particles.
