Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations: The study assumes 2D flow pattern for the ease of caluculations. This is backed by previous studies and is quite correct for the central portion of the aircraft. However, authors do recognize that there can 3D motion of air and thereby the pollutants released orally or nasally into the air (viz., CO2 and viruses such as coronavirus) can travel in the longitudinal directions (i.e., along the length of the aircraft). This is partiularly important to consider at the ends of the aircraft as the fluid flow at the ends will certainly not be 2D. The BCs were based on the data available in the public doamin or by making conservative assumptions. These may not accuratley describe the air duct positions in the studied aircrafts. As a simplifying assumption that also adds to the factor of safety of the model predictions, coronavirus was assumed to be present at places where released CO2 can be found. The released CO2 and the associated coronavirus concentration has been modeled as a continnum where as the actual coronavirus particles would be in a discrete phase. Modeling coronavirus as a discrete phase suspended in air will be prohibitively expensive with regards to the computational resources. These rankings are based on the scheme presented by the authors and the section views and BCs as available in the public domain. Many simplifying assumptions are associated with this study and the actual ranking of the seats can be different based on how many of these assumptions fa...
