The indoor environment has a significant impact on our wellbeing. Accurate prediction of the indoor air distribution can help to create a good indoor environment. Reynolds‐averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) models are commonly used for indoor airflow prediction. However, the Boussinesq hypothesis used in the RANS model fails to account for indoor anisotropic flows. To solve this problem, this study developed...
Since the outbreak of COVID‐19 in December 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV‐2) has spread worldwide. This study summarized the transmission mechanisms of COVID‐19 and their main influencing factors, such as airflow patterns, air temperature, relative humidity, and social distancing. The transmission characteristics in existing cases are providing more and more evidence...
Currently, the thermal environment in airplane cockpits is unsatisfactory and pilots often complain about a strong draft sensation in the cockpit. It is caused by the unreasonable air supply diffusers design. One of the best approaches to design a better cockpit environment is the adjoint method. The method can simultaneously and efficiently identify the number, size, location, and shape of air supply...
