The protection provided by facemasks has been extensively investigated since the
beginning of the SARS‐CoV‐2 outbreak, focusing mostly on the filtration efficiency of filter …

As mandatory masking and social distancing measures decrease post-COVID-19, the risk of
airborne pathogen transmission in crowded indoor spaces remains a significant public …

The compositional models currently used for cough droplet transport and dispersion
simulations typically consider water and inorganic salts, ignoring the organics in the …

Results of simulations of the unsteady aerosol formation and spreading in a train
compartment under ventilation conditions obtained using Computational Fluid Dynamics …

The human respiratory emission mechanism generates virus particles such as the COVID-
19 virus that exists in both aerosols and water droplets form. Trajectories of airborne …

Abstract Effects of indoor temperature (T∞) and relative humidity (RH∞) on the airborne
transmission of sneeze droplets in a confined space were studied over the T∞ range of 15 …

The behavior of a droplet under shear flow in a confined channel is studied numerically
using a multi-phase smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. With an extensive …

Surgical masks are widely used for infectious source control by preventing infected
individuals from transmitting pathogens. However, poor fit can create gaps between the …

The dispersion of respiratory droplets is strongly influenced by the complex airflow induced
by human activities, such as walking in a queue. Understanding the relationship between …

Ward-acquired infections (WAIs) has become a critical concern, particularly for ships with
limited resources. An assessment approach combining validated computational fluid …
