Enhancing Ventilation of Enclosed Spaces Using CFD
摘要
Airborne transmission is now acknowledged to play a prominent role in propagating several highly infectious diseases, such as COVID-19. Infected people exhale tiny droplets and aerosols bearing infectious microorganisms. These are swept up by air flows and carried over long distances, potentially exposing other nearby people to the infection. This is particularly dangerous in indoor spaces, where infectious aerosols can be present in the air for a longer duration. Therefore, ventilation of spaces like classrooms, public transport and shared facilities, and aerosol transport have become active areas of study in the context of COVID-19.
