It is important to pay attention particulate matter mainly due to their negative effects on human health. Into the atmosphere, they are getting from various mobile, as well as stationary sources including combustion. These emissions consist of solid and liquid material dispersed in the atmosphere. It is important to separate particulate matter before their leaving in the atmosphere. Reduction of particulate matter can be achieved primarily by optimizing the flue gases flowing or secondary by using separators. Separators are useable in the big heat sources, but their realization in small heat source are difficult on finances and have complex maintenance. This article deals with primarily reduction of particulate matter in the wood stove, which is small heat source. To capture of these particles, baffles were designed in the flue gas tract of the combustion chamber and their flowing was observed depending on the position of the baffles by using CFD simulations.
