As humans look to return to the lunar surface, Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) must be able to control lunar dust concentrations to minimize impacts to crew health and equipment within the cabin environment. Lunar dust is abrasive and can deteriorate the performance of spacesuits and equipment inside of habitable volumes. Development and validation of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models assist in understanding the behavior of lunar dust and aids in design of ECLS systems. Previous analysis efforts include modeling the effect of lunar dust on the crew's health, devices to filter out lunar dust from ventilation systems, and module ventilation to predict where lunar dust would settle in modules. This paper is a literature review of the modeling and testing techniques currently used in industry to analyze how lunar dust will affect ECLSS functionality. Details about lunar dust material properties and knowledge gaps are also examined.
