Particle Dispersion Analysis in Hospital Ward

Project Overview :

Conducted an extensive analysis to determine particle dispersion in a hospital ward under various airflow conditions. The project aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of infection control measures by simulating virus particle dispersion in two configurations: windows open and windows closed.

Key Contributions :

• Simplified complex CAD geometry obtained from Revit through pre-processing, ensuring accurate and efficient simulations.

• Utilized a particle tracking approach to model the dispersion of virus particles expelled by humans, based on extensive literature survey data.

• Analyzed two configurations: windows open and windows closed, providing insights into airflow patterns and particle dispersion.

Outcome :

• Delivered actionable recommendations to optimize airflow and reduce the risk of airborne infections in the hospital ward.

• Demonstrated the effectiveness of CFD in simulating particle dispersion and supporting infection control strategies in healthcare environments.

This project highlights expertise in particle dispersion modeling, CAD pre-processing, and airflow analysis, showcasing the ability to deliver impactful solutions for healthcare and AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) applications.
