Abstract

Project summary This project aims to study the spread of the coronavirus by coughing or sneezing, through droplets ejected in confined spaces, in this case a hallway. The simulation of trajectories uses computer-aided design (SimScale) by mobilizing a multiphase flow model (ANSYS). The results of this study will help improve the health security of both healthcare workers and the public during a pandemic such as that of Covid-19. Goal This project aims to contribute to strengthening the health safety of employees in workplaces with limited space thanks to a better understanding of the risks accompanying the coronavirus pandemic and to highlighting the preventive measures necessary to put in place in order to '' avoid a second wave of contamination after the first periods of confinement.
