Resumen:

COVID-19 is a serious respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus family (2019-nCoV), which has spread over the world as a pandemic. It is a contagious virus that spreads through inhalation or contact with φ˂5 µm droplet nuclei produced by infected people during sneezing, coughing, and even speaking. Controlling this pandemic has been a top priority for the international community, and it is critical to comprehend the virus's basic mechanisms of spread. This virus spreads more easily through the air, especially in enclosed spaces. For accurate findings, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) plays a significant role in constructing different types of rooms by employing varied boundary conditions and selecting different vent locations. COVID-19, according to the current scenario, spreads quickly from person to person through direct or indirect contact with infected surfaces. This research aims to use CFD modelling in the living room to anticipate air patterns and velocity. The adopted approach is to apply the adequate turbulence model which provides transient air velocity and resolves a large range of turbulent structures. Also, its aims to study the performance of CFD approach assessing airborne infection risk and developing preventative measures.
