Resumo: | |||||||||||||
With the emergence and worsening of the novel coronavirus (Sars-Cov-2)
pandemic in 2020, it has become necessary to control indoor occupancy rates through
the strategy of social distancing, to mitigate contamination in these places. However,
the measures taken to define the distance between people are essentially qualitative
in nature. This study therefore sets out to investigate the characteristics of this
discrete-phase (droplets) and continuous-phase (air) droplet dispersion system using
a multiphysics approach, in order to quantify the acceptable occupancy rates of a
classroom under different conditions (for example, seating arrangement and/or
ventilation system planning). The work was carried out in a three-dimensional
environment and the numerical resolution will be done using the finite element
method. The COMSOL software and its complementary computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) and particle trajectory definition (Particle Tracing) modules were
used as tools to assess the behavior of the mechanical transport vectors of respiratory
viruses. The aim is to identify optimized conditions for an example room, since this
can serve as a parameter for determining ducts in similar environments.
