Dust Management In Martian Habitats: Numerical Analysis, Innovative System Designs, And Nanocomposite Material Investigations

Mars dust storms present a major challenge for future human missions, as they can severely impact habitat structures, energy systems, and the overall sustainability of long-term operations on the Martian surface. These storms, which can last for months and cover vast areas of the planet, reduce the efficiency of solar panels, clog ventilation systems, and damage sensitive equipment. This paper investigates the impact of Martian dust on habitats and proposes an integrated and innovative system to mitigate its effects. The study utilizes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling to analyze the dynamics of dust movement and deposition in the Martian atmosphere. Additionally, self-cleaning nanocomposite materials, intelligent ventilation systems, and autonomous cleaning robots have been explored as key technologies for dust management. The results demonstrate that these proposed systems can reduce the effects of dust accumulation by up to ۹۵%, enhancing the longevity of solar panels, reducing energy consumption in ventilation systems, and improving the efficiency of Martian habitat operations.
