| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To specify infection routes of novel influenza, viral characteristics were added to computational fluid dynamics. In this case, flying route of virus is differ from airflow. Using detail flow simulation with breathing, airborn infection routes were specified in a crowded train and a classroom. Behavior of inhaled virus was also calculated in a trachea. Then, the computation can distinguish possibility of infection from difference with greater and less toxin.
