Title 

Modeling and Simulation of Viral Propagation in the Built Environment 

Abstract 

This talk will begin by summarizing mechanical characteristics of virus contaminants and the transmission via droplets and aerosols. The ordinary and partial differential equations describing the physics of these processes with high fidelity will be presented. We shall also describe the appropriate numerical schemes to solve these problems. We will conclude the talk with several realistic examples of the built environments, such as TSA Queues, Hospital Rooms.
