Abstract
Recent achievements in the development of a theoretical model for elec trostatic precipitation are described. The challenges are the treatmen t of complex three-dimensional geometries, and the complexity of the p hysical effects together with the multi-disciplinarity of the overall problem. Different computational modules are used for the computation of the electric field, the corona discharge, the ion drift regions and their interaction with the main gas flow. Results are given for curre nt density distributions, secondary flow patterns and the particle dis tribution. The computational modules are integrated in a domain-decomp osition based environment that allows for concurrent engineering and p rogram development.
