An Investigation of Particulate Impaction on Spherical and Cylindrical Targets,

Abstract

This project was a theoretical investigation of particulate impaction on spheres and cylinders. The motion model developed was implemented on a computer and yielded results focused on two main goals: first, the net effect of gravity on particulate impaction was determined; and second, a man simulation was conducted. This simulation calculated to a first approximation the amount of chemical that would impact on a man subjected to a chemical attack.
