Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, June 23 (intern reporter Zhang Jiaxin) Most models explaining how viruses spread focus on the spread between people
The authors of the paper, Tarib Debuk and Dimitris Drikakis, studied how pollen promotes the spread of ribonucleic acid viruses like the new coronavirus
Drikakis said: "As far as we know, this is the first time we have demonstrated how pollen particles in the air are spread in the breeze through modeling and simulation, which helps the virus to spread through the air in outdoor people
Researchers have noticed that there is a correlation between the infection rate of new coronary pneumonia and the pollen concentration on the national allergy map
map The researchers calculated all the pollen-producing parts of the willow tree and simulated outdoor gatherings of about 10 to 100 people, some of whom COVID-19 patients would transmit virus particles
"One of the major challenges is to reconstruct a completely real mature willow environment
The researchers adjusted the model to the temperature, wind speed, and humidity typical of spring in the United States, and pollen passed through the crowd in less than a minute
Under the new crown pneumonia epidemic, medical experts recommend that people maintain a social distance of 6 feet (approximately 1.
While calling attention to other forms of the spread of the new coronavirus, the researchers hope that their research will stimulate further interest in plant fluid dynamics
Focus on the new crown pneumonia epidemic
