Modeling Transport of SARS-CoV-2 Inside a Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) Bus [PDF]
Fluids 2022, 7, 80, 2021 We present in this paper a model of the transport of human respiratory particles on a Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) bus to examine the efficacy of interventions to limit exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The methods discussed here utilize a commercial Navier-Stokes flow solver, RavenCFD, run using a massively parallel ...
