Paths to caustic formation in turbulent aerosols
Jan Meibohm, Vikash Pandey, Akshay Bhatnagar +4
The dynamics of small, yet heavy, identical particles in turbulence exhibits singularities, called caustics, that lead to large fluctuations in the spatial particle-number density,…

The spreading of viruses by airborne aerosols: lessons from a first-passage-time problem for tracers in turbulent flows
Akhilesh Kumar Verma, Akshay Bhatnagar, Dhrubaditya Mitra +1
We study the spreading of viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, by airborne aerosols, via a new first-passage-time problem for Lagrangian tracers that are advected by a turbulent flow: By d…
