Computational modelling of speech-driven airborne-virus transmission

Abstract

This preprint article summarises our computational virus-transmission modelling of someone talking who is emitting viral-laden bioaerosols, while another person is inadvertently breathing this virus thru their nose while listening. Select preliminary computational results are also presented, along with some supporting validation & verification details. We envision our freely-available model as having the potential to accelerate efficacy of innovative health interventions that target airborne-virus transmission reduction.
