Transcript of Airflows and the spread of airborne pathogens in the ICU Dr Collette W. Haig.
Introduction Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) – an
overview.
University Hospital Crosshouse. The ICU. Airflow patterns revealed.Spread of airborne pathogens.
Conclusions.
CFD – an overview
CFD – enables solutions to be found to complex fluid mechanics problems using numerical methods.
Capable of modelling air flows and their interaction with surfaces.
Capable of modelling the transportation of particles and the effect of heat sources on air flow patterns.
