For a mild human cough in air at 20 °C and 50% relative humidity, we found that human saliva-disease-carrier droplets may travel up to unexpected considerable distances depending on the wind speed. 4. The numerical modeling approach to capture the complex varying space and time scales, e.g., both heat and mass transfer considerations, modeling of mass and phase changes due to droplet evaporation, coalescence, breakup, and turbulent dispersion in interaction with the bulk flow field. A human cough: saliva droplet's disease-carrier particles cannot travel more than 2 m in space at approximately zero wind speed. This study shows that, when a person coughs, the wind speed in an open space environment significantly influences the distance that airborne disease-carrier droplets travel. ./cache/cord-325205-8yug5jjx.txt ./txt/cord-325205-8yug5jjx.txt
