Experimental study on the effect of adjacent near-wall heat sources on the particle deposition.

Adjacent near-wall heat sources are widely used in indoor environments. It is important to investigate the particle deposition under the influence of coupled thermal plumes arising from adjacent near-wall heat sources to improve indoor air quality and control harmful particle deposition. Thus, this study scrutinizes the behavior of thermal plumes emanating from adjacent near-wall heat sources, focusing on the deposition of particles with diameters of 0.
