Experimental measurement of respiratory particles dispersed by wind instruments and analysis of the associated risk of infection transmission
Oliver Schlenczek, Birte Thiede, Laura Turco +6
Activities such as singing or playing a wind instrument release respiratory particles into the air that may contain pathogens and thus pose a risk for infection transmission. Here…
Respiratory aerosols and droplets in the transmission of infectious diseases
Mira L. Pöhlker, Ovid O. Krüger, Jan-David Förster +10
Knowing the physicochemical properties of exhaled droplets and aerosol particles is a prerequisite for a detailed mechanistic understanding and effective prevention of the airborne…
Risk assessment for airborne disease transmission by poly-pathogen aerosols
Freja Nordsiek, Eberhard Bodenschatz, Gholamhossein Bagheri
In the case of airborne diseases, pathogen copies are transmitted by droplets of respiratory tract fluid that are exhaled by the infectious and, after partial or full drying, inhal…
Supersaturation in the Wake of a Precipitating Hydrometeor and its Impact on Aerosol Activation
Taraprasad Bhowmick, Yong Wang, Michele Iovieno +2
The secondary activation of aerosols impacts the life cycle of a cloud. A detailed understanding is necessary for reliable climate prediction. Recent laboratory experiments demonst…
On the drag of freely falling non-spherical particles
Gholamhossein Bagheri, Costanza Bonadonna
We present a new general model for the prediction of the drag coefficient of non-spherical solid particles of regular and irregular shapes falling in gas or liquid valid for sub-cr…
