Numerical Modeling of Cross-Transmission of Airborne Pollutants in a High-Rise Building Induced by Elevator Car Movement

An elevator shaft provides passage for air exchange across floors and thus imposes infectious disease transmission risk. The moving elevator car generates positive air pressure in the shaft section to which the car approaches, while negative air pressure is generated in the section where the car lea...
