Modelling of particulate fouling based on Computational Fluid Dynamics enables to detect a risk of deposit development and to propose improvements in operating conditions and equipment design. The work focuses on the transport and sticking of solid particles. The size of the particles lies in the range from several up to dozens of m. The conditions correspond to the deposition of particles with a negligible liquid fraction and the deposition occurs due to particle deformation, gravity, adhesion, wall surface roughness, deposit deformation and dynamic friction. An emphasis is put on the selection of a suitable sticking model from the group of critical velocity models, which aside from the local conditions and the particle properties account for the impaction velocity. Sensitivity studies on the model settings were conducted to assess the significance of the model parameters and the included phenomena. The simulations were conducted on the case of an experimental facility for solid fuels combustion. Obtained results were compared to observed deposits.
