Instantaneous simulation results of saliva plume concentration contours

Caption

Instantaneous simulation results of saliva plume concentration contours (in volume fraction) during normal breathing shown on the sagittal plane. Top and bottom images show the case without and with a nonmedical face mask. Considering a threshold of 1 part per million, saliva concentrations below 10-6 are cut off.
