      The study of aerosol dispersion in indoor environments is essential to understanding and mitigating airborne virus transmission, such as SARS-CoV-2. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a valuable tool for investigating aerosol dispersion, providing an alternative to costly experimental methods. In this study, we investigated the performance of four (4) Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes ...
    • Comparing RANS with LES - AMR Study in Indoor Bio-aerosol Transmission 

      Owolabi, Jibola Obafemi; Khawaja, Hassan; Aganovic, Amar (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022)
      The study presents the multiphysics modeling of bio-aerosols generated from human respiratory impulses such as coughing, sneezing, breathing, and talking. These droplet-packed viruses exploit the influence of airflow for effortless transmission, rendering them a potential health risk to individuals in the same indoor environment. To gain insight into the transmission of these airborne particles, ...
    • Investigating RANS Turbulence Models for Predicting Airflow Dispersion in Enclosed Environments: Numerical Simulation and Experimental Validation 

      Owolabi, Jibola Obafemi; Dhar, Sushmit; Muhammed, Manaf; Khawaja, Hassan Abbas; Aganovic, Amar; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023-12)
      The dispersion of respiratory aerosol particles in enclosed environments poses a significant challenge to understanding the transmission of airborne infectious diseases, mainly due to the influence of turbulence on the propagation of aerosol particles. Turbulence, with its complex and chaotic nature, is a prevailing phenomenon in a fluid flow. Four widely used Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) ...
