Breaking waves modulate the transfer of energy, momentum, and mass between the ocean
and atmosphere, controlling processes critical to the climate system, from gas exchange of …

For an infectious disease such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to spread,
contact needs to be established between an infected host and a susceptible one. In a range …

The global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) poses an increasing
threat to public health. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of toxic metabolites …

The host-to-host transmission of respiratory infectious diseases is fundamentally enabled by
the interaction of pathogens with a variety of fluids (gas or liquid) that shape pathogen …

The COVID-19 pandemic has strikingly demonstrated how important it is to develop
fundamental knowledge related to the generation, transport and inhalation of pathogen …

Mixing is the operation by which a system evolves under stirring from one state of simplicity—
the initial segregation of the constituents—to another state of simplicity—their complete …

The breakup of droplets in a high-speed air stream is investigated experimentally and
theoretically. This study is based on experiments conducted by exposing pendant droplets to …

Tiny water drops produced from bubble bursting play a critical role in forming clouds,
scattering sunlight, and transporting pathogens from water to the air. Bubbles burst by …

In this work, the flow patterns and pressure losses of 12 kinds of gas–liquid systems (two
different surfactants were selected, and their concentrations were changed in an aqueous …

The rim and bag dynamics in aerodynamic droplet breakup are investigated experimentally
and theoretically. Three main modes contribute to the breakup sizes in aerodynamic droplet …
