The inactivation of viruses in aerosol particles (aerosols) and droplets depends on many
factors, but the precise mechanisms of inactivation are not known. The system involves …

Airborne transmission is considered as an important route for the spread of infectious
diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and is …

Recently, the COVID-19 virus pandemic has led to many studies on the airborne
transmission of expiratory droplets. While limited experiments and on-site measurements …

Virus-laden droplets dispersion may induce transmissions of respiratory infectious diseases.
Existing research mainly focuses on indoor droplet dispersion, but the mechanism of its …

The adverse effects of climate change on human health are unfolding in real time.
Environmental fragmentation is amplifying spillover of viruses from wildlife to humans …

In this work, we focus on the dispersion of COVID-19-laden droplets using the transient
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and simulation of the coughing process of …

The COVID-19 pandemic forced performing arts groups to cancel shows and entire seasons
due to safety concerns for the audience and performers. It is unclear to what extent aerosols …

The influence of salt (NaCl) dissolved in water on the behavior of levitating droplet clusters,
including the formation of equilibrium clusters from saline water droplets during their infrared …

Aerosols and microdroplets are known to act as carriers for pathogens or vessels for
chemical reactions. The natural occurrence of evaporation of these droplets has implications …

Symmetry and orderliness of two-dimensional (2D) levitating microdroplet clusters are
quantified with the Voronoi entropy (VE) and the continuous symmetry measure (CSM). The …
