Three-dimensional simulation of clouds of multi-disperse evaporating saliva droplets in a train cabin

In line with recent ongoing efforts to collect crucial information about the mechanisms of virus diffusion and put them in relation effective complexity several natural or artificial environments where human beings leave operate, present study deals dispersion evaporating saliva droplets cabin an interregional train. A relevant physical model is constructed taking into account state art terms existing paradigms their ability represent some fundamental aspects related evolution time a cloud multi-disperse droplets. Conveniently, such theoretical framework turned computational one that relies on low Mach-number asymptotics can therefore take advantage typical benefits (relatively cost) associated pressure-based methods. Numerical simulations are used predict flow established as result ventilation systems settings dictated by considerations passenger comfort. The solution two-way coupled Lagrangian equations capture dynamics dispersed phase its transport conjunction peculiar topology considered morphology solid surfaces, which bound it (including beings). Typical physiological processes talking coughing considered. An analysis impact multiplicity droplet sources also conducted, thereby providing indications potential risks for occupants.
