The fluid dynamics of disease transmission

L Bourouiba - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Fluid dynamics of respiratory infectious diseases

L Bourouiba - Annual review of biomedical engineering, 2021 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Gel propellants

MB Padwal, B Natan, DP Mishra - Progress in Energy and Combustion …, 2021 - Elsevier
The transformation of a liquid propellant into a semi-solid gel state paves way for
energetically improved, reliable, safer, and possibly green futuristic propellant for rocket and …

Physics of liquid jets

J Eggers, E Villermaux - Reports on progress in physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
Jets, ie collimated streams of matter, occur from the microscale up to the large-scale
structure of the universe. Our focus will be mostly on surface tension effects, which result …

Review of mass and momentum interactions during drop impact on a liquid film

G Liang, I Mudawar - International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2016 - Elsevier
Research on liquid drop impact, especially during the past two decades, has been motivated
by a need for better predictive capability in many industries. This paper will review published …

What determines the drop size in sprays?

S Kooij, R Sijs, MM Denn, E Villermaux, D Bonn - Physical review X, 2018 - APS
In many instances, sprays are formed from the breakup of liquid jets or sheets. We
investigate the different parameters that determine the characteristic drop size in the …

Fragmentation

E Villermaux - Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech., 2007 - annualreviews.org
Fragmentation phenomena are reviewed with a particular emphasis on processes that give
rise to drops—in the broad sense, the process of atomization. Various observations are …

A numerical study on the interaction of droplet collisions and air flow impact in cross-im**ing spray

H Ding, J Zhao, Z Zhang, K Xu, L Fu, X He - Energy, 2023 - Elsevier
The spray im**ement method has been widely used to effectively achieve better
atomization of liquid fuel. The factors influencing the formation of im**ed spray are …

Drop fragmentation on impact

E Villermaux, B Bossa - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2011 - cambridge.org
We address the sequence of events accompanying the transition from an initially compact
volume of liquid–a drop–into dispersed fragments when it impacts a solid surface. We …

Fragmentation versus cohesion

E Villermaux - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
Capillarity is the familiar manifestation of the cohesion of liquids. Since Laplace (Traité de
mécanique céleste, vol. IV, supplément au livre X: Sur l'action capillaire, 1805, pp. 1–65), we …
