Background
The HumanIC network aims to build a new approach to hospital environmental design through the concept of a human-centric indoor climate. The HumanIC network will bring together leading academic teams from across Europe with hospital and healthcare HVAC industry partners to train early-stage engineers and scientists to enable a new approach to the human-centric indoor climate in Healthcare Environments. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie (HORIZON-MSCA-2022-DN-01, project no 101119726).

Specific tasks to be developed during the contract
The thesis is framed in the doctoral network (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions) HumanIC: Human – Centric Indoor Climate for Healthcare Facilities. The thesis focuses on the experimental study and development of reduced models for complex flows in hospital environments. The predoctoral researcher will design an instrumented mock-up of a surgery operating room with optical access to measure the fluid field with laser velocimetry. From the field measurements he/she will be able to develop a reduced model of the flow. In addition, probes will be used to estimate the instantaneous flow field in the surgery room by correlating the probe measurements with the fluid field model. Finally, algorithms will be developed for real-time flow estimation in the operating room.
