New model calculates risk of COVID-19 transmission
Published Oct 21, 2020The Contagion Airborne Transmission inequality seeks to make sense of the many variables, including environmental ones, that can affect transmissibility of COVID-19. “The CAT inequality is particularly useful because it translates the complex fluid dynamical transport process into a string of simple terms that is easy to understand,” said Charles Meneveau, a professor in Mechanical Engineering and co-author of the study. “As we’ve seen, communicating science clearly is of paramount importance in public health and environmental crises like the one we are facing now.”
