Violent respiratory events such as coughs and sneezes play a key role in transferring
respiratory diseases between infectious and susceptible individuals. We present the results …

Inhaled toxic aerosols of conventional cigarette smoke may impact not only the health of
smokers, but also those exposed to second-stream smoke, especially children. Thus, less …

We present the development and validation of a numerical modeling suite for bubble and
droplet dynamics of multiphase plumes in the environment. This modeling suite includes …

We show that the dynamics of the expiratory cloud ejected during human respiratory events
can be modeled by extending the theory of buoyant vortex rings with an initial momentum …

We experimentally investigate the behavior of instantaneous localized releases of heavy
particles falling as turbulent clouds in quiescent water, both with and without background …

To get a deeper understanding of our laboratory experiments [Q. Kriaa, Phys. Rev. Fluids 7,
124302 (2022) 2469-990X 10.1103/PhysRevFluids. 7.124302], we numerically model …

The interaction and mixing of twin particle clouds in stagnant water were studied by a series
of laboratory experiments. The importance of source separation distance and sand particle …

A round thermal is formed when an element of buoyant fluid is released instantaneously into
a quiescent ambient. Although the thermal spreading rate is of primary importance to …

A series of Euler–Lagrangian four-way coupling Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) are
performed to study the dynamics of settling particle clouds. The numerical method is first …

Laboratory experiments were conducted to study the dynamics of particle clouds released
vertically downward into stagnant water. The importance of nozzle diameter, sand particle …
