Application of CFD modeling for indoor radon and thoron dispersion study: A review.

ABSTRACT

This paper provides an in-depth discussion of the CFD implications to the design/study of interior environments and an overview of the most widely used CFD model for indoor radon and thoron dispersion study. For the design and analysis of indoor environments, CFD is a powerful tool that enables simulation and measurement-based validation. Simulating an indoor environment involves deliberate thought and skilful management of complicated boundary conditions. User and CFD programs can develop results through gradual effort that can be relied upon and applied to the design and study of indoor environments. Radon and thoron are natural radioactive gases and play a crucial role in accurately assessing the radioactive hazard within an indoor environment. This review comprise the work related to measurement and CFD modeling on these radioactive pollutant for indoors.Highlighting the current state of environmental radioactive pollutants and potentially identified areas that require further attention or research regarding investigating factors affecting indoor radioactive pollutants.
