Explore corona charging, size-dependent particle drift, dust collection, plate rapping and flashover in a live industrial process simulation.
Particles enter at the inlet (negative X). The gas carries them along the duct; charged aerosols migrate toward collecting plates due to the corona electric field. Drag in the gas is modelled with Stokes' law, while turbulent dispersion is stochastic. Dust retained by the plates reduces field effectiveness. Activate Plate rapping to shake off the accumulated layer into the lower hopper.
Try this: run the standard experiment, switch off high voltage and observe the change in efficiency. Then change aerosol diameter, gas velocity and electrode gap. The overload preset forces the field above the arc threshold to demonstrate intermittent flashover.
Controls: drag the 3D chamber to orbit; scroll to zoom. Use camera presets for fixed views. Pause, step, inject a pulse, export CSV telemetry or save/import configuration as JSON.
Accuracy: weighted test particles, field charging, stochastic mixing, and a lumped electrical circuit make this a conceptual training model, not a CFD, high-voltage safety, or industrial certification calculation.
