The research has successfully incorporated the modeling of indoor spaces, irrespective of size, including critical factors such as ventilation and air-conditioning systems.This has been achieved by extending the IBM framework to impose arbitrary boundary conditions within the domain, overcoming the inherent limitations of the IBM in this respect.Lastly, the research has developed a robust model for droplet-surface interaction, a key factor influencing droplet dispersion and inhalation, vital for studying the effectiveness of preventive measures such as masks and face shields. This model encapsulates the interaction at various mesh sizes and accounts for factors such as droplet size dependency on wall-interaction and molecular forces for aerosols.
