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

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

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

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 …

Ventilation is central to human civilization. Without it, the indoor environment rapidly
becomes uncomfortable or dangerous, but too much ventilation can be expensive. We …

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 …
