The Effects of Patient Movement on Particles Dispersed by Coughing in an Indo…

Abstract: This study investigates the influence of a moving patient on the transport characteristics of coughing particles by dynamic meshing and the Lagrangian particle tracking method. Through simulation, particle movement during the initial coughing, patient movement, and stationary flow phases was examined. Two different particle sizes (5 μm and 10 μm) were used and yielded small differ…
