Abstract
Abstract Spreading through airflow is one of the most common routes for the transmission of viruses, which may result in serious public health problems. To acquire a healthy space for the community library, designing a reasonable ventilation system is a vital measure which can reduce the risk of transmission of the virus effectively. The purpose of this research is to study natural ventilation methods in an epidemiological insight for the design of a healthy community library by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. Five typical opening types of windows were selected and studied in the research on the ventilation of the yoga room of a community library, with airflow evaluated by the ACH method, so as to search for the most suitable window type to avoid airborne virus transmission. The results acquired by SOLIDWORKS simulation showed that 75%, 90%, and 100% openings corresponding to Jalousie, casement, and double casement window types respectively are optimal in community space. The natural ventilation design by proper windows can be applied in the community library and other public spaces.
