Tosva [ PLUS ]

: Translating CFD results into design advice, such as the placement of exhaust grilles in patient rooms to minimize cross-infection.

: Investigating how the heat rising from a human body (the "thermal plume") interacts with ventilation to move particles toward or away from the breathing zone.

: Comparing different systems—such as mixing, downward, or displacement ventilation—to determine which best reduces exposure risks for occupants. Elements of a "Good Paper" on TOSVA : Translating CFD results into design advice, such

: Modeling how respiratory droplets and pathogens (like those related to COVID-19 or MERS) disperse in offices or hospital wards.

: Quantifying how factors like grid spacing, inlet development length, and Schmidt numbers affect the accuracy of the simulation. Elements of a "Good Paper" on TOSVA :

For further reading on the code's implementation, you can review the methodology in the Simultaneous Quadrature Method of Moments study or the application of the LES code for indoor infection probability via ResearchGate.

: Citing comparisons between TOSVA’s results and experimental data, such as particle transport in experimental chambers. inlet development length

In scientific and technical research, (Toolbox fOr Simulating Ventilation and Aerosols) is a specialized open-source code used for Large-Eddy Simulations (LES). It is primarily designed to model human activity, particle concentrations, and airborne infection risks within indoor environments.
