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 …

Vertebrates aim their noses at regions of interest and sniff in order to acquire olfactory trace
signals that carry information on food, reproduction, kinship, danger, etc. Invertebrates …

Various infectious agents are known to be transmitted naturally via respiratory aerosols
produced by infected patients. Such aerosols may be produced during normal activities by …

An immersed boundary method for time-dependent, three-dimensional, incompressible
flows is presented in this paper. The incompressible Navier–Stokes equations are …

Manual handling of nanoparticles is a fundamental task of most nanomaterial research; such
handling may expose workers to ultrafine or nanoparticles. Recent studies confirm that …

Airborne nanoparticles released during the synthesis of single-walled and multi-walled
carbon nanotubes were measured and characterized. This study reported the field …

An immersed boundary method for particulate flow in an Eulerian framework is utilized to
examine the effects of complex human motion on the transport of trace contaminants. The …

Three different tools for personal exposure assessment are presented. They are all able to
consider the local influence of persons in ventilated rooms where concentration gradients …

Indoor air quality and its effect on respiratory health are reliant on understanding the level of
inhalation exposure, particle inhalability, and particle deposition in the respiratory airway. In …

The unsteady aerodynamic wake of a human is studied using a time-accurate computational
fluid dynamics simulation. Transport of a scalar contaminant, which originates on the body …
