Abstract

Abstract: The biggest challenge that is faced by the human race after World war 2 is the Covid-19, which has affected more than 27.8 million people. The Covid 19 pandemic has entirely changed the livelihood of the people. It is not only seen as a global health crisis but also a Socio-economic issue that has disrupted the Governments worldwide. There is situation where normality is being questioned in the post pandemic era. Many regulations such as Quarantine, self-isolation, social-distancing, and travel restrictions have been advised to prevent the spread of covid-19. After several months of quarantine, the world is now slowly pacing its way back to normality as the vaccine has been invented and brought into use. It is expected that the educational institutions, work places and other public arenas will be opened for the use. However, the regulation of wearing mask and following social distancing are mandatory in public places. Considering the above situation as a need of the hour, this article mainly focuses on the Computational study of the Corona Virus diffusion for a confined space such that it can be applied to places with high population mass. The numerical model was simulated using ANSYS fluent and the results obtained are in excellent accordance with the literature.
