Turbulence dictates the fate of virus-containing droplets in violent expiratory events
Marco E. Rosti, Mattia Cavaiola, Stefano Olivieri +2
Violent expiratory events, such as coughing and sneezing, are highly nontrivial examples of a two-phase mixture of liquid droplets dispersed into an unsteady turbulent airflow. Und…

The assembly of freely moving rigid fibers measures the flow gradient tensor
M. Cavaiola, S. Olivieri, A. Mazzino
The motion of an assembly of rigid fibers is investigated for different classes of closed streamline flows, steady or time dependent, two dimensional or three dimensional. In our s…
