Numerical simulation of biological capsules based on interface-fitted polygonal meshes
Daniele A. Di Pietro, Simon Mendez, Aurelio E. Spadotto
In this work we introduce a numerical framework for the simulation of biological capsules based on meshes that adapt iteration-wise to the shape of the membrane. The discretization…
Enucleated incompressible red blood cells in shear flow: theoretical analysis of shape instabilities
Avraham Moriel, Howard A. Stone, Simon Mendez
Red blood cells (RBCs) are essential for oxygen transport, and their remarkable ability to undergo significant deformations during flow is a crucial feature for their physiological…
A discrete de Rham discretization of interface diffusion problems with application to the Leaky Dielectric Model
Daniele A. Di Pietro, Simon Mendez, Aurelio Edoardo Spadotto
Motivated by the study of the electrodynamics of particles, we propose in this work an arbitrary-order discrete de Rham scheme for the treatment of elliptic problems with potential…
How a table modulates the risk of airborne transmission between facing individuals
Oğuzhan Kaplan, Manouk Abkarian, Simon Mendez
Airborne transmission has been recognized as an important route of transmission for SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. While coughing and sneezing are spe…
Viral transmission in pedestrian crowds: Coupling an open-source code assessing the risks of airborne contagion with diverse pedestrian dynamics models
Alexandre Nicolas, Simon Mendez
We study viral transmission in crowds via the short-ranged airborne pathway using a purely model-based approach. Our goal is two-pronged. Firstly, we illustrate with a concrete and…
From microscopic droplets to macroscopic crowds: Crossing the scales in models of short-range respiratory disease transmission, with application to COVID-19
Simon Mendez, Willy Garcia, Alexandre Nicolas
Short-range exposure to airborne virus-laden respiratory droplets is now acknowledged as an effective transmission route of respiratory diseases, as exemplified by COVID-19. In ord…
Model-based assessment of the risks of viral transmission in non-confined crowds
Willy Garcia, Simon Mendez, Baptiste Fray +1
This work aims to assess the risks of Covid-19 disease spread in diverse daily-life situations (referred to as scenarios) involving crowds of maskless pedestrians, mostly outdoors.…
Speech can produce jet-like transport relevant to asymptomatic spreading of virus
Manouk Abkarian, Simon Mendez, Nan Xue +2
Many scientific reports document that asymptomatic and presymptomatic individuals contribute to the spread of COVID-19, probably during conversations in social interactions. Drople…
