Life of a droplet: Buoyant vortex dynamics drives the fate of micro-particle expiratory ejecta

We show that the dynamics of the expiratory cloud ejected during human respiratory events can be modelled by extending the theory of buoyant vortex rings with initial momentum. We embed the integral conservation laws that govern the cloud’s motion into the model of an expanding vortex, to determine...
