RESUMEN
How to prevent the flushing-induced plume without changing people's daily habits? Enlightened by thoughts of redesigning the restroom, this article provides a redesigned toilet using liquid-curtain-based strategy and verifies its advantages from the computational fluid dynamics. Two favorable effects are spotted: (1) the liquid curtain can suppress the upward virus particles (only 1% viruses can be lifted out of the toilet) and (2) the flow distribution caused by the liquid curtain can deliver virus particles into the sewage efficiently.
