Abstract

To design an effective ventilation system in healthcare settings, understanding the ventilation pattern is necessary. In this research, we have investigated the effect of the weight of airborne coronavirus on the spread of the COVID-19 infection. We have mathematically modeled the distribution of the virus as a transport of concentration, including the Navier-Stoke equation and continuity equation. The finite element method was applied to drive the simulations. The numerical results have been obtained and analyzed in this report.
