N2 - This paper presents an experimental study of hydrodynamics flow characteristics and particle transport in a test facility. Experimental measurements of fluid flow and particle deposition are studied under isothermal conditions using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) techniques. These non-intrusive optical measurement techniques have been applied in experiment conditions of Reynolds number Re = 5,077 in a 3-inch square channel and 72-inches in total length. The fluid within the channel is air seeded with aerosol droplets while the measurements of particle transport is facilitated using surrogate particles dispersed in the channel flow. Results obtained from the PIV and PTV measurements included the hydrodynamics fluid flow characteristics, and characteristics of particle transports, such as particle velocity, particle diameter distributions and particle concentration profiles. Results from the preliminary test have shown 11.08% deposition of particles. To supplement this experimental work, upstream fluid flow characteristics were provided as boundary conditions for a comparable numerical study.
