M.Tech (Res): Direct Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Aerosol Transport in Human Respiratory Flows
AE Conference Room , AE 003Airborne transmission of respiratory diseases is governed by the coupled dynamics of the exhaled turbulent flow and the transport of pathogen-laden aerosols and droplets. This thesis studies two representative respiratory activities, speech and cough, and quantifies the infection probability using Direct Numerical Simulations. The incompressible Boussinesq Navier-Stokes equations are solved using Megha-5 solver, including the […]
