In this article, the authors summarized what we know and what we need to learn about the science underlying these issues so that we are better prepared to tackle the next outbreak of COVID-19 or a similar disease.Abstract:
Flow physics plays a key role in nearly every facet of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the generation and aerosolization of virus-laden respiratory droplets from a host, its airborne dispersion and deposition on surfaces, as well as the subsequent inhalation of these bioaerosols by unsuspecting recipients. Fluid dynamics is also key to preventative measures such as the use of face masks, hand washing, ventilation of indoor environments and even social distancing. This article summarizes what we know and, more importantly, what we need to learn about the science underlying these issues so that we are better prepared to tackle the next outbreak of COVID-19 or a similar disease.read more

Direct numerical simulation of a moist cough flow using Eulerian approximation for liquid droplets
TL;DR: In this paper, a computational approach in which respiratory droplets are coarse-grained into an Eulerian liquid field advected by the fluid streamlines is proposed. But the authors neglect the neglect of droplet inertia.
Journal ArticleDOI
