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…

Basal pressure variations induced by a turbulent flow over a wavy surface

P. Claudin, M. Louge, B. Andreotti

Turbulent flows over wavy surfaces give rise to the formation of ripples, dunes and other natural bedforms. To predict how much sediment these flows transport, research has focused…

A lower-than-expected saltation threshold at Martian pressure and below

B. Andreotti, P. Claudin, J. J. Iversen +2

Aeolian sediment transport is observed to occur on Mars as well as other extraterrestrial environments, generating ripples and dunes as on Earth. The search for terrestrial analogu…

The ping pong ball water cannon

Bruno Andreotti, Wladimir Toutain, Camille Noûs +3

The course "Phy Ex" was created by Yves Couder in the Paris VII university to teach experimental physics through projects. In this article, we present this teaching method through…
