| Research Abstract |
The indoor environment can play a significant role in the transmission of and exposure to various contaminants. In this research project, an analytical procedure for coupling the computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based prediction of unsteady and non-uniform contaminant concentration distribution with a basic epidemiological model has been developed. Furthermore, an integrated simulation procedure for prediction of exposure concentration of infectious contaminant using a multi-nesting method connecting building space, a micro-climate around human body, and respiratory air tract in human body has been also proposed in order to provide quantitative and qualitative detailed information for estimating contaminant dose of residents.
