On the size and shape of condensing steam jets and plumes

N. Fourcade, F. Poydenot, P. Langlois +4

Droplet-laden cloud dynamics emerge from coupled phase transitions and turbulent mixing. Combining experiments and mean-field theory, we establish scaling laws for steam-injected c…

Pathways from nucleation to raindrops

Florian Poydenot, Bruno Andreotti

Cloud droplets grow via vapor condensation and collisional aggregation. Upon reaching approximately , their inertia allows them to capture smaller droplets du…

Collision efficiency of droplets across diffusive, electrostatic and inertial regimes

Florian Poydenot, Bruno Andreotti

Rain drops form in clouds by collision of submillimetric droplets falling under gravity: larger drops fall faster than smaller ones and collect them on their path. The puzzling sta…

At the crossroads of epidemiology and biology: bridging the gap between SARS-CoV-2 viral strain properties and epidemic wave characteristics

Florian Poydenot, Alice Lebreton, Jacques Haiech +1

The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to numerous articles from different scientific fields (epidemiology, virology, immunology, airflow physics...) without any effort to link these…

Turbulent dispersion of breath by the wind

Florian Poydenot, Ismael Abdourahamane, Elsa Caplain +6

The pioneering work of G.I. Taylor on the turbulent dispersion of aerosols is exactly one century old and provides an original way of introducing both diffusive processes and turbu…

Stress accumulation around ice in a temperature gradient

Dominic Gerber, Lawrence A. Wilen, Florian Poydenot +2

When materials freeze, they often undergo damage due to ice growth. Although this damage is commonly ascribed to the volumetric expansion of water upon freezing, it is usually driv…

Risk assessment for long and short range airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2, indoors and outdoors

Florian Poydenot, Ismael Abdourahamane, Elsa Caplain +7

Preventive measures to reduce infection are needed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for a possible endemic phase. Current prophylactic vaccines are highly effective to p…
