Fomite disinfection using spray systems: A computational multi-physics framework.

Disinfecting inanimate objects or materials carrying infectious agents, i.e., fomites, using spray systems reduces healthcare-associated infections in medical settings and community-acquired infections in non-medical environments.

Impact of morphological parameters on urban ventilation in compact cities: The case of the Tuscolano-Don Bosco district in Rome.

Air pollution and heat stress are major concerns associated with the liveability, resilience and sustainability of cities. They directly affect health and comfort and are associated with augmented morbidity and mortality and an increase in the energy demand for building ventilation, air cleaning and cooling. Nevertheless, the detrimental effects of poor air quality may partly be mitigated by increased urban ventilation.

CFD simulation of urban microclimate: Validation using high-resolution field measurements.

Heat stress in urban areas can have detrimental effects on human health, comfort and productivity. In order to mitigate heat stress, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of urban microclimate are increasingly used. The validation of these simulations however requires high-quality experimental data to be compared with the simulation results.
