Extended Lifetime of Respiratory Droplets in a Turbulent Vapor Puff and Its Implications on Airborne Disease Transmission

Kai Leong Chong et al.

Summary: The study found that in high humidity environments, the lifetime of small particles in respiratory droplets is significantly extended, allowing them to be transported much further by turbulent eddies. These findings provide insight into optimizing indoor ventilation and humidity control strategies and are crucial for mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic in the current autumn and upcoming winter.

On airborne virus transmission in elevators and confined spaces

Talib Dbouk et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of air ventilation systems on airborne virus transmission in confined spaces using an elevator as a prototype. It shows that the position of inlets and outlets significantly influences flow circulation and droplet dispersion, and that air purifiers alone cannot eliminate airborne transmission. The practical conclusion is that the design and placement of air purifiers and ventilation systems play a crucial role in reducing droplet dispersion and airborne virus transmission within confined spaces.

Numerical study of virus transmission through droplets from sneezing in a cafeteria

Liangyu Wu et al.

Summary: The numerical simulation shows that dining face to face in a cafeteria is highly susceptible to direct infection by others' respiratory droplets, with sneezing from a standing person resulting in longer survival time of droplets in the air. Closing off the horizontal supplying air conditioner does not prevent droplet spread. It is recommended that cafeterias only accept take-away orders and sanitize all surfaces.

Estimating COVID-19 exposure in a classroom setting: A comparison between mathematical and numerical models

Aaron Foster et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted studies of airborne transmission risk using Wells-Riley and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. Ventilation with moderate filtration in a classroom setting can reduce infection transmission probability significantly. Individual transmission route infection probabilities vary significantly, with local air patterns being the main driving factor.

Transmission and evaporation of cough droplets in an elevator: Numerical simulations of some possible scenarios

Nirvik Sen

Summary: This study used a three dimensional Euler-Lagrangian model to analyze the transmission of micrometer-sized droplets generated by coughing in elevators under different scenarios. The results showed that with proper ventilation, most cough droplets fall to the ground, while in the absence of ventilation, turbulence created during coughing can spread particles across the elevator enclosure.

Numerical Modeling of the Spread of Cough Saliva Droplets in a Calm Confined Space

Sergio A. Chillon et al.

Summary: The study examined droplet dispersion and evaporation caused by coughing, finding that droplets smaller than 150 µm evaporate within 10 seconds. Smaller droplets are influenced by Brownian movement, medium-sized droplets by inertial forces, and larger droplets by inertial and gravitational forces, with smaller droplets located at the top positions and larger droplets at the bottom.

Summary: This study conducted a large-scale numerical simulation of a real-world dentistry clinic with aerosol-generating procedures, analyzing the dispersion of evaporating droplets emitted during ultrasonic dental scaling. Results indicated concerns about aerosols' long residence times and travel distances exceeding social distancing guidelines, expanding contamination beyond the immediate patient treatment areas.

Simulation of aerosol transmission on a Boeing 737 airplane with intervention measures for COVID-19 mitigation

Khaled Talaat et al.

Summary: Identifying economically viable intervention measures to reduce COVID-19 transmission on aircraft is crucial, especially with the emergence of new SARS-CoV2 variants. Using computational simulations, it was found that employing sneeze shields on full capacity flights can significantly reduce aerosol transmission compared to reduced capacity flights without shields.

Growth of respiratory droplets in cold and humid air

Chong Shen Ng et al.

Summary: The growth or shrinkage of liquid droplets is determined by the ambient conditions, with droplets experiencing growth followed by shrinkage in cold and humid environments due to supersaturation. A model for predicting droplet growth based on axial RH was proposed, culminating in a temperature-RH map as an indicator for droplet fate. Results were in good agreement with DNS simulations, providing critical insights for understanding droplet behaviors in respiratory puffs.
