Abstract
A finite element fluid dynamics software model, FIDAP 6.0, was used to model the air flow in two different personnel screening booth configurations; one a walk-in/walk-out booth and the other a walk-through booth. The various parameters modeled were streamline contours, speed contours, effects of puffers, and RDX concentration. For optimum results it is necessay to produce high velocity air flows and, in the case of the walk through booth, it is imperative to locate a high speed puffer on the side of the booth opposite the sampling ducts.
