Description: Aerosol transmission of diseases poses serious threats to human and animal health. Our understanding of complex processes involved in airborne disease transmission is still limited. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) may provide a power tool to further our understanding of how disease pathogens are spread via aerosol transmission. In this study, we use a CFD model to simulate the movement of aerosols in an experimental chamber. Liquid aerosols containing Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus were artificially generated into a pair of connected experimental chambers operating at a set ventilation rate. Aerosol concentration was continuously monitored with an optical particle counter until steady state conditions were achieved. The CFD model simulates the experiments and quantifies aerosol movement and distribution inside the experimental chambers.
