AB - The dynamics of two-phase flow and the thermal distribution characteristics  within an epidemic prevention surveillance vehicle exert a profound  influence on the risk of cross-infection among occupants and their comfort  levels. In this study, numerical simulation techniques are employed to  comprehensively analyze the two-phase flow motion and thermal distribution  characteristics inside the vehicle. Specifically, the research explores the  impact of modular temperature and humidity control on two-phase flow  behavior and spatial thermal distribution. The findings indicate that the  maximum aerosol concentration recorded was 7.2×10-17 μg/m3 at a height of  1.5 m above the vehicle floor. Additionally, as the temperature rises, the  intensity of the two-phase flow motion concomitantly increases, while the  level of humidity exhibits an inverse trend. From the perspective of  in-vehicle comfort, the modular temperature and humidity zoning control  approach contributes to a more homogeneous distribution of air velocity and  temperature within the epidemic prevention surveillance vehicle.  Consequently, this configuration offers an augmented level of thermal  comfort for both medical personnel and patients
