It has been documented that diseases can spread within an aircraft cabin from the sneezing, coughing or breathing of it sick passenger. To understand the spreading mechanism it is very important to quantify the airflow and droplet transmission around a sneezing/ coughing incident. In this project, tracer gas experiments were carried out in a full-scale Bocing 767-300 mock-up to study the global transport process of contaminated air within the cabin. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was also used to provide additional information for understanding the principle. A steady airflow field was simulated first and then it was compared with the experimental data. The global airflow patterns were similar to those observed experimentally. This velocity field was adopted as the initial condition for further unsteady pollutant transport simulation. Experimental and simulated results were compared and discussed to develop a relationship between concentration and airflow pattern, source location, transport direction, and ventilation rate. Finally, the overall picture of concentration evolution by both experimental and simulated approaches was discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
