Abstract: Transmission mechanics of infectious pathogen in various environments are of great complexity and has always been attracting many researchers' attention. As a cost-effective and powerful method, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) plays an important role in numerically solving environmental fluid mechanics. Besides, with the development of computer science, an increasing number of researchers start to analyze pathogen transmission by using CFD methods. Inspired by the impact of COVID-19, this review summarizes … Show more

“…Furthermore, the initial droplet velocity must be considered for coughing or sneezing events ( Xie et al, 2007 ). In order to assess the impact of these additional effects under realistic initial and boundary conditions, numerical simulations are necessary, as shown by the recent studies by Feng et al (2020) , Dbouk and Drikakis (2020a) , Vuorinen et al (2020) , Peng et al (2020) , and Shao et al (2021) .…”

“…The performance of mechanical exhaust devices and single-sided natural ventilation has been assessed to investigate the possibility of eliminating cross-infection using CFD [ 38 ]. Moreover, Peng et al [ 39 ] summarized a series of research studies investigating pathogen transmission based on CFD modeling and has concluded that natural ventilation techniques are the main approach to dilute pathogen concentration in air. CFD was also used to examine the distribution and the evolution of coughed droplets in an air conditioned room with two ventilation patterns [ 40 ].…”

“…Numerical simulations have been shown to be useful for assessing air flow and particulate trajectory, where it is important to understand the physical phenomenon for medical and research purposes [45][46][47][48]. Some studies have shown the development of disinfection chambers using CFD and have illustrated validation techniques using such type of simulations [44,49].…”
