How do viruses, and laser plume, spread in the air…?
The New York Times published an excellent article showing the fluid dynamics of contaminated air in a school roon, under various conditions of ventilation and flitration. The simulation reveals how the concentration of viral particles changes in a room of students, when one is infected with a virus. The same results would apply to a… Continue reading How do viruses, and laser plume, spread in the air…?
