Blood backspatter interaction with propellant gases Heading link

Authors

Gen Li, Nathaniel Sliefert, James B. Michael, Alexander L. Yarin

Abstract

The theoretical results of the present work reveal a significant interaction of the oncoming vortex ring of propellant muzzle gases with backward blood spatter. It is shown that there is even possibility that a blood droplet from the backspatter will fully turn around by a powerful vortex ring and land behind a victim. Such a predicted outcome is confirmed by experimental data of fully reversed drop trajectories observed in the experiments conducted in the second part of this work [N. Sliefert, G. Li, J. B. Michael, A. L. Yarin, “Experimental and numerical study of blood backspatter interaction with propellant gases,” Phys. Fluids 33, 043319 (2021)]. A parametric study is conducted here to investigate the totality of the outcomes of the vortex ring interaction with the backward blood spatter and the corresponding deflections and landing locations of blood drops. Furthermore, a secondary vortex ring is introduced here to reveal a continuous effect of the propellant gas.

Reopening dentistry after COVID-19 Heading link

Abstract

The aerosol transmissibility of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has impacted the delivery of health care and essentially stopped the provision of medical and dental therapies. Dentistry uses rotary, ultrasonic, and laser-based instruments that produce water-based aerosols in the daily, routine treatment of patients. Abundant aerosols are generated, which reach health care workers and other patients. Viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 virus and related coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, continued expansion throughout the USA and the world. The virus is spread by both droplet (visible drops) and aerosol (practically invisible drops) transmission. The generation of aerosols in dentistry-an unavoidable part of most dental treatments-creates a high-risk situation. The US Centers for Disease Control and The Occupational Safety and Health Administration consider dental procedures to be of “highest risk” in the potential spreading of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses. There are several ways to reduce or eliminate the virus: (i) cease or postpone dentistry (public and personal health risk), (ii) screen patients immediately prior to dental treatment (by appropriate testing, if any), (iii) block/remove the virus containing aerosol by engineering controls together with stringent personal protective equipment use. The present work takes a novel, fourth approach. By altering the physical response of water to the rotary or ultrasonic forces that are used in dentistry, the generation of aerosol particles and the distance any aerosol may spread beyond the point of generation can be markedly suppressed or completely eliminated in comparison to water for both the ultrasonic scaler and dental handpiece.

Electrospun membranes filtering 100 nm particles from air flow Heading link

Authors

Abstract
Nonwoven fibrous filter membranes are widely used in filtration because of their low cost. They are less effective in intercepting airborne particles of the order of 100 nm, which is of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus’s size. Many diseases, including COVID-19, predominantly spread by droplets released by breathing, coughing, sneezing, or medical procedures. It was shown that the smallest droplets can evaporate in air before settling, thus, making viruses airborne and easily penetrating even the best masks and filters. As a result, air-filtering membranes, which are capable of effective interception of ∼100 nm nanoparticles are highly desirable. A traditional way to improve filtration efficiency by overlapping several layers of nonwoven fabrics increases the required pressure drop, and thus, should be avoided as much as possible. Here, we propose and demonstrate an innovative approach to enhance performance of filtration membranes based on (i) a dramatic reduction in the fiber size, and (ii) metal coating of the fibers. The first component of this approach allows one to incorporate a novel physical mechanism of filtration, the short-range van der Waals forces, whereas the second one adds the long-range electric Coulomb forces if the oncoming nanoparticles are pre-charged and the metal-plated membrane grounded. In the present work, the ∼100 nm aluminum nanoparticles are filtered as a model of commensurate airborne single COVID-19 viruses, and Platinum is used as the sputter-coated material for the fiber coating. The resulting filtration efficiency enhanced by the electric Coulomb forces alone is increased by the factor of 1.77, while the filtration efficiency additionally facilitated by the van der Waals forces increased by the factor of 2.44. In comparison to the filter membranes with ∼500 nm fibers without the electric forces involved, the van-der-Waals-electric filter membrane with fibers ∼90 nm is 2.24 1.77 = 3.96 times more effective. The quality factor of a membrane which combines the van der Waals and Coulomb forces is 10.6 psi−1, which is almost three times that of a comparable membrane without the electric Coulomb force (with only van der Waals forces being used).

Evolution of Drops under the Surface Tension and Electric Field Heading link

Authors

Abstract
The creeping-flow theory describing evolution and steady-state shape of two-dimensional ionic-conductor drops under the action of surface tension and the subcritical (in terms of the electric Bond number) electric field imposed in the substrate plane is developed. On the other hand, the experimental data are acquired for drops impacted or softly deposited on dielectric surfaces of different wettability and subjected to an in-plane subcritical electric field. Even though the experimental situation involves viscous friction of drops with the substrates and wettability-driven motion of the contact line, the comparison to the theory reveals that it can accurately describe the steady-state drop shape on a non-wettable substrate. In the latter case, the drop is sufficiently raised above the substrate, which diminishes the three-dimensional effects, making the two-dimensional description (lacking the no-slip condition at the substrate and wettability-driven motion of the contact line) relevant. Accordingly, it is demonstrated how the subcritical electric field deforms the initially circular drops until an elongated steady-state configuration is reached. In particular, the surface tension tends to round off the non-circular drops stretched by the electric Maxwell stresses imposed by the electrodes. A more pronounced substrate wettability leads to more elongated steady-state configurations observed experimentally than those predicted by the two-dimensional theory. The latter cases reveal significant three-dimensional effects in the electrically driven drop stretching. In the supercritical electric fields (corresponding to the supercritical electric Bond numbers), the electrical stretching of drops predicted by the present linearized two-dimensional theory results in splitting into two separate droplets. This scenario is corroborated by the predictions of the fully nonlinear results for similar electrically stretched bubbles in the creeping-flow regime available in the literature as well as by the present experimental results on a substrate with slip.
