New Study Could Help Design UV-C Light-Based COVID-19 Disinfection Devices

AZoOptics.com reports a paper published in the Physics of Fluids journal, from AIP Publishing, Valerio D’Alessandro and collaborators elaborate on the use of a supercomputer to perform numerical modeling of cough droplets irradiated by UV-C light. They also describe the investigation of the social distances needed to avoid the transmission of the virus. The researchers identified the evolution of a saliva droplet cloud, considering the buoyancy, inertia and weight of each droplet and its aerodynamic interaction with the environment. In Physics of Fluids, Marche Polytechnic University researchers describe using a supercomputer to do numerical modeling of cough droplets irradiated by UV-C light: The…
