Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for passively collecting fluid from a gas stream using one or more porous collectors. Porous collectors may be or include mesh(es) or other porous structures, such as perforated or stamped sheets (e.g., of metal or plastic). By providing collector(s) in a path of a gas stream that are appropriately constructed and positioned, as further discussed subsequently, appreciable fluid collection can occur by simple inertial impact of the fluid on the collector(s). Specifically, systems herein can exploit swirl component(s) of velocity of a gas stream (that are not axial with a primary direction of flow) to cause fluid to be collected (e.g., impact and remain) on collectors. A swirl component of velocity may be, for example, a tangential, radial, or rotational component or a combination thereof.
