Effects of Human Gait on Air Distribution in Contagious Isolation Tent Wards

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of human gait on air distribution in contagious isolation tent wards. The proposed contagious isolate tent wards were designed as the operating room for serious paroxysmal infectious patients. The three dimensions model of contagious isolation tent ward was reconstructed. Then, the computed fluid dynamical (CFD) methods were used to simulate and analyze the air distribution of contagious isolation tent ward. The dynamical meshes technology was employed to simulate the human gait. An experiment was implemented to measure air velocity of the proposed isolate tent ward. The results showed that the human gait motion affects air pressure, air velocity and contaminant distribution, while the impact on air temperature could be ignored. It was concluded that the impact of human gait or movements should be taken into account in air pollution control of contagious isolation tent wards.
