Kimberly Pickett defended her MSEE final oral defense on Friday, May 6th at 10:00am in Rosenau 235. Full details and abstract follow.MSEE Technical Report Final Oral Defense KIMBERLY W. PICKETT Friday, May 6, 2005 Rosenau 235 10:00 AM Particle Investigation in the Near-wake of an Elliptical Cylinder to Predict Exposure The concentrations were expressed as dimensionless numbers relating concentration to the atomizer mass generation rate (mo), the height (H) and breadth (D) of the cylinder, and the freestream velocity (U). The dimensionless concentrations were 6.7, 65.5, and 4.3 for the breathing, elbow, and hip regions, respectively. For a worker facing downstream, a dimensionless breathing zone concentration of 7.0 is a reasonable estimate for respirable aerosols generated in the wake. The primary significance of the work is to extend a simple model of human exposure to aerosols and to provide a simple estimator for assessment and control studies.
