Sodium fire accidents in sodium technology room can generate harmful aerosols. To analyze the impact of sodium fire aerosol particle migration, a microchannel grid structure similar to real cracks was constructed using computational fluid dynamics(CFD) method based on the actual concrete crack characteristics to simulate the migration process of aerosol particles in the room wall. A two-dimensional horizontal microchannel flow model was established, considering gravity, inertial force, and the influence of Saffman lift and Brownian diffusion on particle motion was studied, and a microchannel particle motion model was constructed to numerically simulate particle retention characteristics for different gap structures. The results indicate that when the gap size is less than submillimeter, it is considered that there is no risk of causing a large amount of aerosol particle leakage in the gap. The branching corners and uneven micro structures within concrete gaps can effectively reduce the penetration coefficient of particles in the gaps and reduce leakage.
