Application of Flow Simulation in Minimizing Contamination for the Healthcare Industry

The healthcare sector consists of businesses that provide medical services that emphasize the health of the customer such as ensuring and maintaining the comfort and safety of building occupants. However, do you know that flow simulation has been contributing to this industry in some unseen ways? Check out the superior performance of flow simulation.

Enhancing Flow in Healthcare Design

A patient needs to be well-rested during their recovery period during their stay in the hospital. Hence, the importance of ensuring the ventilation in the room and the comfort level of the patient should not be neglected.

Many methods are implemented to ensure the abovementioned meets the standard, such as implementing air filters, air cleaners, and exhaust fans, which are commonly used to improve and ensure the air is always free of contaminants.

Therefore, the question that needs to be considered and discussed is how the engineering team can play a part to give the patient a good experience during their recovery period in the room while reducing the risk of virus spread in the building.

Air Flow Optimization for Environment

Managing airflow within a large-scale environment is key to maintaining the optimum temperature for the largest number of people. It not only simulates the airflow in the environment, but also for products used in the environment. With its enhanced toolset, designers can now analyse products by considering real-world behaviour. An enhanced engineering database includes a wide range of building materials and fans are provided to enable the analysis to be done quickly and efficiently. In addition, an enhanced engineering database includes a wide range of building materials and fans also provided to enable building thermal analysis to be done quickly and efficiently.

Human Comfort Factors in the Patient Room

The effectiveness of environmental control is measured by human comfort factors. Several parameters can be used to evaluate people’s reactions to the environment and aspects of the environment. For instance, the Air quality index (AQI) tells how clean or polluted the air is, and what associated health effects might be a concern for the public. It focuses on health effects that one might experience within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air.

Wrapping Up

In short, maintaining low-contaminant air with proper ventilation is a significant factor in reducing the risk of viruses spreading in the building. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a powerful tool that takes the complexity out of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for designers and engineers by allowing users to quickly and easily simulate fluid flow and heat transfer that are critical to the success of the design.
