Numerical simulations of the flow and aerosol dispersion in a violent expiratory event: Outcomes of the “2022 International Computational Fluid Dynamics Challenge on violent expiratory events”

Abstract: This paper presents and discusses the results of the "2022 International Computational Fluid Dynamics Challenge on violent expiratory events" aimed at assessing the ability of different computational codes and turbulence models to reproduce the flow generated by a rapid prototypical exhalation and the dispersion of the aerosol cloud it produces. Given a common flow configuration, a total of seven research teams from different countries have performed a total of eleven numerical simulations of the flow dispersi… Show more

“…These pathogen-laden aerosols may be expelled by an infected person when sneezing, coughing, talking or singing. The short-term, short-range dispersion of the flow and aerosol clouds has been considered in the past successful "2022 International Computational Fluid Dynamics Challenge on violent expiratory events" [2]. The objective of this Challenge was to determine the ability of Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) and Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) techniques to simulate the flow and the evaporative aerosol cloud dispersion generated just after the end of an isolated cough ejecting warm fluid into a quiescent colder ambient.…”
