Indoor Transmission of Respiratory Droplets Under Different Ventilation Systems Using the Eulerian Approach for the Dispersed Phase by Yi Feng, Dongyue Li, Daniele Marchisio, Marco Vanni, Antonio Buffo

“…The Eulerian and Lagrangian approaches present similar agreement with the experimental data, indicating that the two approaches are comparable in accuracy. The computational cost of the E-L approach is closely related to the number of tracked droplets; therefore, the Eulerian approach is recommended when the number of droplets required by the simulation is large. …”
