Expert in fluid dynamics explains how to reduce the risk of COVID-19 airborne transmission inside a car
Varghese Mathai, Assistant Professor of Physics, UMass Amherst
Editor’s note: Varghese Mathai is a physicist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who studies the flow of fluids and gases. He conducted a study using computational fluid dynamics simulations to understand how air flows inside a car and its implications for COVID-19 airborne transmission. In this interview, he explains the optimal ways to ensure maximum airflow inside a car.
