Results of the Numerical Simulation of Aerosol Dispersion Produced by a Sneeze (VIDEO)
Caption
The video shows the results of the numerical simulation of aerosol dispersion produced by a sneeze. Particles are expelled during the expiration of air and are mainly transported by the action of moving air and gravity. To evaluate the impact of the evaporation of the aqueous fraction that reduces the size of the particles, the transport of aerosols that had not evaporated (left-hand panel) was compared with those that had evaporated (right-hand panel). The color shows the evaporated water fraction between 0 and 1 for no evaporation and total evaporation, respectively.
