Applications are invited from Indian nationals only for project position(s) as
per the details given below for the consultancy/research project(s) under the
Principal investigator (Name: Prof. Krishnendu Sinha), Department of Aerospace
Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.
1. Title of Project: Ventilation CFD to determine the optimum placement of
minimum sensors
2. Project Details: This project aims to use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
to determine the airflow circulation in indoor spaces and identify recirculation
zones that trap infectious particles. Reactor Model framework-based Infectivity
Modelling: A well-mixed room is considered a CSTR (continuous stirred
tank reactor) model wherein the air is mixed homogeneously throughout the
enclosed space. Using various equations such as wells-Riley equations (models’
risk of infection due to airborne particles) will be studied and CFD model-based
infectivity will be determined in different zones. The different zones will
determine the areas where the risk of infection is higher and where the risk of
infection is lower with the existing ventilation system and how the changes in
intervention can reduce the higher infectivity risk zones. The project has
potential applications in controlling the spread of infectious diseases in
indoor settings and optimizing ventilation systems.
