Risk Assessment and Mitigation of Airborne Disease Transmission in Orchestral Wind Instrument Performance

Abstract excerpt

There has been growing concern about high risk of airborne infection during wind instrument performance as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves. In collaboration with 16 musicians from the Minnesota Orchestra, we employ multiple experimental and numerical techniques to quantify the airflow and aerosol concentration emitted from ten wind instruments under realistic performance conditions. For all instruments, the extent o...
