Mathematical Modelling for Virus Transport in a Viscous Fluid Medium

The  worldwide  spread  of  coronavirus  is  a  major  concern  for  health  worriers  and  scientists.   Primary investigation reveals that humans got affected by coronavirus through acute respiratory transmission like the Influenza virus.  This becomes severe for patients who require an oxygen supplementation device. It was noticeable that the viruses transmit from person to person through solid surfaces, air medium, and fluid medium.   Therefore, it is essential to analyze the behavior of virus transmission in the fluid medium.   This will help healthcare workers to arrest the vulnerable and to restrict the spread of the Coronavirus virus.  Accordingly, a mathematical model is developed to simulate the nature of virus transport through the fluids driven by the peristaltic mechanism. The present study considers four types of viruses (Corona Virus, Influenza AB virus, Swine Influenza), traveling through the fluid medium.  The effects of various parameters like gravity, virtual mass, basset force, and drag forces on virus trajectories, velocity field vectors are analyzed and discussed the significance of the physical parameters. A comparative analysis for all types of viruses is also presented.
