Airflow dynamics of coughing in healthy human volunteers by shadowgraph imaging: an aid to aerosol infection control.

Cough airflow dynamics have been previously studied using a variety of experimental methods. In this study, real-time, non-invasive shadowgraph imaging was applied to obtain additional analyses of cough airflows produced by healthy volunteers. Twenty healthy volunteers (10 women, mean age 32.2±12.9...
