This book aims to predict and model the transport of bioaerosols, identify their transmission characteristics, and assess occupants’ infection risks.



Although existing epidemiological books provide fundamental infection rate of existing diseases, the ability of predicting emerging disease transmission in the air and assessing occupants’ infection risks to the bioaerosols is significantly lacking. This book is considered as a professional book that provides in-depth discussion of the aforementioned issues and provides potential approaches to solve these issues would be highly demanded by readers in this emerging research field. This book offers essential and systematic analysis on the fate of bioaerosols from their release in the air to the final destination in human’s respiratory systems through direct 3D visualizations techniques. It also provides quantifiable method to assess each occupant’s infection risks to the infectious bioaerosols in indoor environments.



The readers will gain essential fundamental characteristics of bioaerosols (active time, viability, etc.) and will gain the advanced skills on how to integrate these properties into numerical modeling and assess the occupants’ exposure risks.  

Yihuan Yan is the Professor in School of Air Transport/Flying at Shanghai University of Engineering Science, China. He got Ph.D. from RMIT University, Australia, in 2017. He has authored and co-authored 36 publications, including 30 refereed journal papers with 20 leading/corresponding authorship, 1 book chapter, and 5 refereed conference papers. Prof. Yan’s top journal percentiles are close to 80% in engineering field according to SciVal. 16 out of his 30 journal articles (53.3%) were published in top 3% journals of the related research fields. He has co-supervised 4 Ph.D. students, 5 exchanged Ph.D. students and has supervised 20 final-year-project students. He was a research member of an ARC Linkage Project in collaboration with Boeing Australia, and a research member of the Chinese 973 program serving the design and development of the COMAC C919 aircraft. His research focuses on densely occupied environment, indoor contaminants transport, indoor air quality and occupants’ healthrisks. Jiyuan Tu is the professor in School of Engineering of RMIT University, Australia, and a distinguished professor of Tsinghua University, China. He got Ph.D. from Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, in 1992 in the field of computational fluid dynamics. Prof. Tu has published 10 books, of which 6 books published by Elsevier, 2 books by Springer, and journal publications over 500 papers, with a total citation over 6000 times, he has an h index of 37. He is the editor of Journal of Computational Multiphase Flows; an editorial board member of Journal of Aerosol Science and Journal of Engineering; a committee member of International Conference of Computational Fluid Dynamics in Processing; and Biennial Computational Techniques and Applications Conference and International Tracer Conference. His major contributions are computational fluid dynamics, numerical heat transfer, and computational and experimental modeling of multiphase flows. He supervised the research of more than 20 Ph.D. students and received several awards, including Brennan Medal for the best book award from The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), UK, and a fulbright senior scholar awarded from Australian-American Fulbright Commission. His research interests are subcooled flow boiling; spray cooling; biomedical engineering; fluid-structure interaction; aerosol deposition in human airways and nasal cavity; and blood flow in arteries. One of the editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Experimental and Computational Multiphase Flow (ECMF), published by Tsinghua Press and Springer.
