Risk assessment of airborne infectious diseases in aircraft cabins.
UNLABELLED Passengers in an aircraft cabin can have different risks of infection from airborne infectious diseases such as influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and tuberculosis (TB) because of the non-uniform airflow in an aircraft cabin. The current investigation presents a comprehensive approach to assessing the spatial and temporal distributions of airborne infection risk in ...
متن کاملInhalation of expiratory droplets in aircraft cabins.
UNLABELLED Airliner cabins have high occupant density and long exposure time, so the risk of airborne infection transmission could be high if one or more passengers are infected with an airborne infectious disease. The droplets exhaled by an infected passenger may contain infectious agents. This study developed a method to predict the amount of expiratory droplets inhaled by the passengers in a...
متن کاملPreliminary Numerical Experiments on Oceanic Dispersion
It was reported that after the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami that occurred on March 11, 2011, some radioactive material, including iodine and cesium, was discharged into the Pacific Ocean because of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP) disaster. High concentrations of I and Cs were found in the seawater and seabed sediment along the coastline of Fukushima Prefecture....
متن کاملNumerical Investigation on Contaminant Dispersion from a Source over the Blocks in Steady and Unsteady Flows
This paper deals with numerical study of semi-finite incompressible flow of air over two blocks with different heights in the presence of a condensing-source, dispensing- contaminant in the flow, in both steady and unsteady states. The numerical solution of governing PDE equations are constructed by a finite-volume method applied on structured grid arrangement. The effects of air flow velocity,...
متن کاملNovel air distribution systems for commercial aircraft cabins
Air distribution systems in commercial aircraft cabins are important for providing a healthy and comfortable environment for passengers and crew. The mixing air distribution systems used in existing aircraft cabins create a uniform air temperature distribution and dilute contaminants in the cabins. The mixing air distribution systems could spread infectious airborne diseases. To improve the air...
