Airflow and contaminant transport in innovative personalized ventilation systems for aircraft cabins: A numerical study

Evaluation of infection probability of Covid-19 in different types of airliner cabins

“…The accuracy was not ideal, but it was acceptable for the present applications. Our results are comparable to other studies [ 40 , 41 ]. Therefore, we considered that the CFD results were validated, and the CFD tool could then be used for the proposed evaluation of COVID infection risk in different types of airliner cabin environment.…”

COVID-19 transmission and control in land public transport: A literature review

“…PV can supply fresh air directly into the human microenvironment thus increasing the ventilation efficiency in the breathing zone, which means the PV also has the potential to mitigate the infection risk of passengers in transport [93 , 95] . Mboreha et al [96] investigated six innovative PV system characters in the passenger cabin by CFD simulation and found that setting a personal outlet on both sides of the passenger's head was the most effective set to remove pathogen-laden droplets. The strengths and weaknesses of three typical ventilation modes are listed in Table 3 .…”

Local control of near-field diffusion of infected respiratory cloud in a room by air-blades

“…To control the local airflow field and to counteract direct transmission, making barriers might intercept the flow of droplets in order to mitigate the infection risk of the susceptible occupants. In this respect, researchers have examined effective preventative measures of various systems, including individual ventilation [8] and air purifiers [9]. There is abundant research on the effectiveness of air purifiers demonstrating that their use is quite cheap compared to replacing an HVAC system and that numerous portable purifiers can be used in one area [10].…”
