Extended lifetime of respiratory droplets in a turbulent vapor puff and its implications on airborne disease transmission
To quantify the fate of respiratory droplets under different ambient relative humidities, direct
numerical simulations of a typical respiratory event are performed. We found that, because …

Multiple states in turbulent large-aspect-ratio thermal convection: what determines the number of convection rolls?
Wall-bounded turbulent flows can take different statistically stationary turbulent states, with
different transport properties, even for the very same values of the control parameters. What …
