Compartment Modeling
Compartment systems provide a systematic way of modeling physical and biological processes.In the modeling process, a problem is broken up into a collection of connected “black boxes” or “pools”, called compartments. A compartment is defined by a characteristic material (chemical species, biological entity) occupying a given volume.
Compartment Modeling
A compartment system is usually open; it exchanges material with its environment

Flu Epidemic in a Boarding School
In 1978, a study was conducted and reported in British Medical Journal (3/4/78) of an outbreak of the flu virus in a boy’s boarding school.
The school had a population of 763 boys; of these 512 were confined to bed during the epidemic, which lasted from 1/22/78 until 2/4/78. One infected boy initiated the epidemic.
At the outbreak, none of the boys had previously had flu, so no resistance was present.
Flu Epidemic (cont.)
Our epidemic model uses the1927 Kermack-McKendrick SIR model: 3 compartments – Sus-ceptibles (S), Infecteds (I), and Recovereds (R)
Once infected and recovered, a patient has immunity, hence can’t re-enter the susceptible or infected group.
A constant population is assumed, no immigration into or emigration out of the school.
Flu Epidemic (cont.)
Let the infection rate, inf = 0.00218 per day, and the removal rate, rec = 0.5 per day - average infectious period of 2 days.

Possible Extensions
Examine the impact of vaccinating students prior to the start of the epidemic. Assume 10% of the susceptible boys are vac-
cinated each day – some getting the shot while the epidemic is happening in order not to get sick (instant immunity).
Experiment with the 10% rate to determine how it changes the intensity and duration of the epidemic.
