Other strategies for COVID-19 mitigation may include the use of glass screens as barriers to reduce aerosol transport between people in the room, opening windows, and redistributing students in classrooms, but the ability of these measures to reduce aerosol transmission from one person to another needs to be carefully evaluated. The objective of the present work is to investigate aerosol transport and surface deposition in a model classroom environment using computational fluid-particle dynamics (CFPD) simulations. Figure 4 shows the effect of particle size on the fraction of aerosol particles released from student 5's mouth that deposit on different surfaces in the room, such as ground, ceiling and walls, desks, and students, or escape from the outlet of the air conditioning system. ./cache/cord-319221-x834qscq.txt ./txt/cord-319221-x834qscq.txt
