Background Since the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic, scientific
exploration of infection control is no longer restricted to microbiologists or medical scientists …

Evidence has emerged that SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, can be
transmitted airborne in aerosol particles as well as in larger droplets or by surface deposits …

Droplet dispersion carrying viruses/bacteria in enclosed/crowded buses may induce
transmissions of respiratory infectious diseases, but the influencing mechanisms have been …

Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems commonly encountered in engineering and
biological applications involve geometrically complex flexible or rigid bodies undergoing …

Coughing has been confirmed as a significant vector for transmitting respiratory diseases. It
can be modelled physically as a turbulent jet to study the dispersion of expiratory droplets …

Airborne transmission has always been one of the contributors to healthcare-associated
infections (HAIs). Throughout the years, building researchers and medical experts have …

Unsteady aerofoil flows are often characterized by leading-edge vortex (LEV) shedding.
While experiments and high-order computations have contributed to our understanding of …

Negative pressure isolation wards could provide safety for health care workers (HCWs) and
patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. However, respiratory behavior releases aerosols …

Particulate matter (PM) resuspension from indoor surfaces is one of the leading causes of
occupant exposure to PM. It has been recognized as a main source of indoor air pollution by …

Social distancing is a key factor for health during the COVID-19 pandemic. In many indoor
spaces, such as elevators, it is difficult to maintain social distancing. This investigation used …
