Theoretical Modeling Approaches to Investigating the Spread of Disease in Airports and on Aircraft: Advance Models for Predicting Contaminants and Infectious Disease Virus Transport in the Airliner Cabin Environment (Part 2)

The results from three aircraft cabin contaminant dispersion studies are presented. These studies address dispersion of gaseous contaminants, solid particles, and bacteria in an aerosolized liquid. All the studies were conducted in an aircraft cabin mock-up. Each study was conducted with somewhat different goals. However, all the studies are intended to support the development and validation of mathematical and computational models of dispersion in aircraft cabins. An attempt is made here to compare the data from the three studies.
