The computational fluid flow models have shown their potentials in an improved prediction of the spreading of respiratory virus-laden droplets and aerosols, sensitive to the ambient environment, and crucial to the public health responses. The results revealed that the small droplets travel a larger distance and remain suspended in the air for a longer time under the influence of airflow, supporting the mandatory use of facemasks to prevent the virus. In recent years, the respiratory droplets flow behavior through the facemasks has typically well-predicted using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. ./cache/cord-129086-ra2njvcz.txt ./txt/cord-129086-ra2njvcz.txt
