Explained: How human droplets are dispersed after being ejected

The researchers said Covid-19 has revealed gaps in knowledge about the physics of transmission, including a simple description of where individual droplets go when ejected.

As a person breathes, they emit droplets of various sizes that don’t necessarily follow the airflow faithfully.

The researchers said the study provides a general framework to understand the droplet dispersion. They provide formulas to predict when droplets will have short ranges.
