“…The numerical approach used in this study offers a significant quantity of data regarding the complex dynamics of the droplets exhaled in different respiratory activities. The integration with a statistical analysis of the population of droplets reveals a more profound outlook of the lifetime of the droplets to optimize the efficiency of disinfection and detection technologies [ 35 , 78 , 79 ]. Further work will use the output of these high-fidelity simulations for developing quasi-real-time CFD simulations and machine learning surrogate models of the coughing and sneezing droplets under different local ambient conditions precisely, at more prolonged periods.…”
