TU Delft COVID App

The TU Delft COVID App helps engineers set up standardized CFD simulations of human expiratory activities in occupied indoor spaces such as hospitals, meeting rooms, classrooms, cinemas, and similar environments.

Built for use with Ansys Fluent, the app gives engineers with a basic fluid dynamics background a faster and more structured way to model transient airflow and droplet transport scenarios without building the full setup from scratch.

Developed in collaboration with TU Delft and SDC Verifier, the app turns a complex manual workflow into a guided process based on user-defined room, occupant, and activity inputs.

People behind the TU Delft COVID app

The TU Delft COVID app is a collaboration between Prof. Fulvio Scarano, deputy dean of the faculty of aerospace engineering and head of the AWEP department at TU Delft, the fluid mechanics expert Dr. Lorenzo Botto from the Process and Energy Department at TU Delft, simulation expert Ir. Wouter van den Bos, CEO of SDC Verifier and teacher from the faculty of mechanical, maritime and materials engineering (3mE) at TU Delft, and aerodynamics postdoctoral researcher Ir. David E. Faleiros also from 3mE, TU Delft.
