What is the relationship between the aerodynamics of a car, the behavior of an airplane engine and the sputtering of a patient in his hospital room?
Fluid mechanics!
Measuring air flows, the industry knows how to do it and whether we are interested in an aircraft engine or a hospital room,
“the physics is the same.
But we had never thought of applying our tools to the environment
,” launches Emmanuel Vanoli, aerodynamics engineer at Dassault Systèmes*.
But the Covid has been there and, like other manufacturers, the company has put itself at the service of hospitals overwhelmed by a disease of which the world did not know much at the time, except that it brought the world to a standstill.
The example of the Philharmonie de Paris
