RETRACTED: Fluid Dynamics and Numerical Simulation of Exhaled Droplets Containing Infectious Viruses (Retracted Article)

Understanding the movement and transmission patterns of airborne particles is very important to understand the diseases they carry. One of the most common sources of viral infections is sneezing and coughing. This topic explores the theoretical properties of airborne microbes and their dispersal. It aims at developing a model that can predict the movement and transmission of these particles. The model is formulated using the Runge-Kutta (RK) algorithm, which is a 4th-order standard for solving differential equations. It is used to study the effects of various factors such as wind speed and jet velocity on the movement of droplets. The model is compared to the well-known Maxey-Riley equation. It then explains the various factors that influence the dispersal of airborne microbes. The evaporation of airborne microbes has a significant effect on the movement of smaller particles.
