coronavirus particles are breathed, they move around within the passages in the nose and lungs. But, the scientists modelled a specific form of movement known as rotational diffusivity, which controls the pace at which particles rotate as they move through the fluid (in the case of the coronavirus, droplets of saliva). Smoother and more hydrodynamic particles experience less drag resistance from the fluid and rotate more quickly.
