Gegenüberstellung von Luftreinigungsmethoden gegen SARS-CoV-2 Viren anhand zonaler Strömungssimulationen

This paper aims to explore the spread of viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 via airborne aerosols. For this purpose, a zonal simulation method, the VEPZO model (Velocity Propagating zonal Model) (V. Norrefeldt et al. 2012), is used and different scenarios in a 2-person office are investigated. The division of the office space into small zones allows a faster calculation of the flow patterns in the interior and is a good alternative to complex CFD simulations. On this basis, questions regarding the use of air cleaners and a cross-comparison with window ventilation are answered.
