  This research paper presents an analysis of the propagation of the
SARS-CoV-2, or other similar pathogens, in a hospital isolation room using
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS).
The study investigates the airflow dispersion and droplets in the room under
air conditioning vent and sanitizer conditions. The CFD simulation results show
that both the air conditioner and sanitizer systems significantly influence the
dispersion of the virus in the room. The use of LCS enables acquiring a deep
understanding of the dispersion of suspended particles, providing insights into
the mechanisms of virus transmission. The findings of this study could help in
developing strategies for improving the design and operation of isolation rooms
to minimize the likelihood of virus dissemination within hospitals.
