Abstract

PurposeThe main purpose of this paper is to devise a tool, based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Machine Learning (ML), for the assessment of potential airborne microbial transmission in enclosed spaces. A Gated Recurrent Units Neural Network (GRU-NN) is presented to learn and predict the...
