The motion of charged aerosol particles in an array of circular cylinders is theoretically studied. In the assumption of steady incompressible fluid flow, the gas velocity field is found by numerical solution of the Navier ? Stokes equations using code FLUENT. The equations of particle transport taking into account the electrostatic force influence and the equations for an electric potential are solved in the found velocity field. The particle concentration and electric potential distributions at the various values of particle charge, initial particle concentration, array porosity and Reynolds number are studied.
