	Fraction of droplets
Scenario	Evaporated	Escaped	Trapped on the elevator surface	Trapped on person “B”	Trapped on person “C”
1 (No ventilation, person “A” coughs in a normal direction, RH = 30%, T = 30 C)	0.8932	0	0.1067	0	0
2 (V = 0.25 m/s, person “A” coughs in a normal direction, RH = 30%, T = 30 C)	0.75	0	0.25	0	0
3 (V = 0.5 m/s, person “A” coughs in a normal direction, RH = 30%, T = 30 C)	0.5046	0	0.495	0	0
