THE FUNDAMENTALS OF AEROSOL DYNAMICS

by C S Wen (Nankai Univ., China)

During the past 30 years, there have been advances in the understanding of multi-particle hydrodynamic interactions in the field of aerosol dynamics. Aerosol dynamics is developing from isolated-particle stage into multi-particle stage. This book reviews these progresses, and the subjects it covers include sedimentation, coagulation, mass or heat transfer, effective viscosity, and the evolution of the size distribution.


Contents:

  • A Survey of Aerosols
  • The Motions of Viscous Fluids
  • Some Low-Reynolds-Number Flows
  • Kinetics of Two Spheres at Low Reynolds Number and Low Stokes Number
  • Sedimentation of Aerosol Particles
  • Coagulation of Aerosol Particles
  • Some Other Problems in the Dynamics of Aerosols


Readership: Senior undergraduates, graduates, lecturers and researchers in applied physics, mechanics, meteorology, applied mathematics and chemical engineering.
