Abstract
In addition to their ability to filter pathogenic droplets, masks also represent a porous barrier to exhaled and inhaled air flow. In this study, we characterize the aerodynamic effect of a mask by tracking the air exhaled by a person through a mask. We show how a mask confines the exhaled flows within tens of centimeters in front of a person breathing or speaking.
