A comprehensive computational fluid dynamics simulation on the air distribution in an operating room at University of Malaya Medical Centre Malaysia

A practical case study on the air distribution in an operating room (OR) at University of Malaya Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur is presented. The OR has a relatively large floor area since it is connected with the medical storage room and served by a total of 14 room air inlets and 3 exhausts. The roo...
