“…The deposition of medium and large particles occurs throughout the evolution of the cough jet, as also revealed by Bourouiba et al [37]. Wei and Li [40] showed that turbulence can significantly enhance the settling range of particles.…”

“…Moreover, only the drag and body forces were considered for the particle motion. Wei and Li [40] demonstrated that evaporation has a significant effect on the spread range of medium-sized droplets in a steady cough jet. Although the effect of evaporation is not considered in this study, it is reasonable to infer this effect is not so important in the transient jet, as particles of all sizes have a similar maximum travel distance.…”

“…41 Xie et al 42 found that expired droplets can travel 1.5-2 m. The presence of turbulence greatly enhances droplet spread. 43 Water droplets with sizes on the order of 1 μm evaporate within a few milliseconds, water droplets of 10 μm survive for up to a few tenths of a second, and large droplets of 100 μm can survive for almost a minute. The transient process from a droplet to a droplet nucleus can be ignored when studying the movement of small droplets, 44 whereas evaporation barely affects large droplets because they deposit soon after release.…”

“…However, medium-sized droplets (eg, 50 μm in diameter) are most sensitive to humidity. 43 Deposition occurs either by gravitational sedimentation, turbulent eddy impaction, or diffusional deposition. Large droplets were first defined as droplets >100 μm by Wells.…”

“…Compared to the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, the theoretical jet model proposed in this work has a small computational load and provides a crucial tool for predicting the cross‐contamination in indoor environments. The expiratory flow close to the nose or mouth was often treated as a free turbulent jet in the previous studies . Empirical formulas for a non‐isothermal jet have mostly been used to reveal the trajectory of the exhaled flow, but they work well only in a uniform environment and are not appropriate for characterizing the exhaled airflow in a non‐uniform environment, for example, a DV room with thermal stratification …”
