Corona virus disease (COVID-19) initially appeared to be an exclusively respiratory ailment. While that is true in a vast majority of the cases, its evolution and later evidence have shown that it can afflict virtually any organ system in the human body after first gaining entry through the respiratory tract. The COVID-19 vaccines were one of the turning points in the campaign to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

A three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been developed for multiphase (liquid and vapor) flows with solid particles suspended within the liquid phases. The method generalizes our recent two-dimensional model [A. Joshi and Y.

A two-dimensional mass conserving lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been developed for multiphase (liquid and vapor) flows with solid particles suspended within the liquid and/or vapor phases. The main modification to previous single-phase particle suspension models is the addition of surface (adhesive) forces between the suspended particle and the surrounding fluid. The multiphase dynamics between fluid phases is simulated via the single-component multiphase model of Shan and Chen [Phys.
