Mr. Strode specializes in the application of CFD in support of retrospective and current/prospective exposure assessment activities performed by C&IH. He also provides CFD-related project support for the design and validation of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) and other exposure mitigation systems. Examples of CFD and other modeling-related projects performed by C&IH in which Mr. Strode played a major role include:
- Modeled community exposures using CFD in support of a risk assessment for a surface mining operation.
- Performed catastrophic chlorine plume release modeling using CFD to assist in emergency evacuation planning for a large industrial complex.
- Assisted in LEV system design to control lead and other exposures in an armory prior to system installation.
- Modeled the re-entrainment of silica, asbestos, and other particulates associated with a walk-in hood in a mineral laboratory.
- Modeled the capture and entrainment of asbestos particles using various baffle configurations in a glovebox isolator using CFD to maximize particle capture and minimize spillage.
- Built and Utilized Modeled the performance of capture hoods for nano-particles in a research laboratory
