Abstract

COVID-19 is a serious respiratory disease caused by a devastating coronavirus family (2019-nCoV) that has become a global epidemic. It is an infectious virus transmitted by inhalation or contact with the droplet core produced by infected people when they sneeze, cough, and speak. SARS-COV-2 transmission in the air is possible even in a confined space near the infected person. This study examines air conditioners' effect on the mixed virus and droplets with aerosol disinfectant and gets throughout the elevator to detect the SARS-COV-2, which helps protect passengers' lives. This study uses fluent 2019R3 software to simulate the virus transmission to model the transient flows numerically. The analysis found that the ventilation system's turbulent fields can be an effective method of protecting the space from being saturated by the coronavirus. © 2021 World Scientific Publishing Europe Ltd.
