Study of COVID-19/SARS-Cov-2 propagation between individuals and group of individuals during social contact



constr This proposal aims at investigate the means of propagating of the COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 through two complementary approaches between individuals and groups of individuals during social contact. A small scale model is proposed to investigate the behavior of salivary droplets between individuals who may be contaminated by orally transmitted diseases. At the same time, a study on contamination of groups of individuals through population dynamics will be carried out for macroscopic understanding of epidemic behavior disease. It is within this scope that the present project is inserted, aiming at improvement of a computational studies platform, supported by FAPERJ in several ongoing projects, using numerical simulation high level in order to characterize particle dynamics and the dynamics of infection through contact between groups of people from the same locality and between regions of Brazil. The different scales of these two approaches will allow a detailed understanding of the rapid spread of COVID-19 viral load and the effectiveness of containment effects of the disease in our society.
