How does airflow affect an operating room design?
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is proved to be more than useful while designing an operating room. CFD shows how aiflow pattern and particle dispersion is influenced and the difference between an OR ‘at rest’ vs ‘in operation’. Aciflow is highly specialized in CFD.
What is CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)?
At Actiflow, we use CFD on a daily basis to simulate gas and liquid flows. However, we feel that there is still quite some misunderstanding about this simulation method. Therefore, we provide you some explanatory information about CFD and how we use it.
Actiflow at the OK Total Congress 2018
At the latest OK Total Congres we used virtual reality to show airflow in an operating room and the difference between an OR at rest and in operation.
