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

A CFD approach to reduce the risk of Covid-19 airborne transmission in a typical office
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors take a typical office as the research object and propose four different partition settings to suppress the spread of the virus in the air based on displacement ventilation, and these strategies are verified by DPM model simulations of two daily situations of indexed person for coughing and talking.
