ABSTRACT
A widely used analytical model to quantitatively assess airborne infection risk is the Wells-Riley model based on the assumption of complete air mixing in a single zone. This study aimed to extend the Wells-Riley model so that the infection risk can be calculated in spaces where complete mixing is not present. This is done by evaluating the time-dependent distribution of infectious quanta in each zone and by solving the coupled system of differential equations based on the zonal quanta concentrations. In conclusion, this study shows that using the Wells-Riley model based on the assumption of completely mixing air may overestimate the long-range airborne infection risk compared to some high-efficiency ventilation systems such as displacement ventilation, but also underestimate the infection risk in a room heated with warm air supplied from the ceiling. © 2022 17th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and Climate, INDOOR AIR 2022.
