Settling Velocity (Deposition)
Stokes' Law • the drag on a spherical particle in a fluid is described by Stokes' Law for
the following conditions: – fluid is a Newtonian incompressible fluid duk/dxk=0 – gravity is negligible g=0 – flow is creeping flow, i.e. Re<<1 duk/dxk=0 – steady-state flow duj/dt=0
• Navier-Stokes Equation – Bird, Stewart and Lightfoot, 1960
• for j=1, 2, 3... – here we will neglect gravity so that the last term is dropped, and we will make
dimensionless using characteristic velocity u0 and length l • where Re=ρul/µ=(inertial fluid forces)/(viscous fluid forces) • l=diameter • ρ=density • µ=ρυ=fluid viscosity • u=mean speed of the undisturbed flow upstream of the body

Drag
• drag force consists of 2 components – normal force - pressure on the solid acting
perpendicularly to the surface at each point on the surface of the sphere; integrating around the sphere the normal force at any point (-pcosθ), the total normal force becomes
– tangential force - shear stress caused by the velocity gradient in the vicinity of the surface
• Fdrag=Fn+Ft – if gravity≠0 then – Ftotal=Fdrag+Fbuoyant – if flow and gravity directions coincide then
• for Re~1, inertial forces increase the drag force predicted by Stokes’ law

Characteristic Length Scales
• Knudsen number - ratio of the length scale of molecular motion in the fluid phase to the length scale of the particle; this ratio describes how the fluid "views" the particle, i.e. is the motion governed by the rules of molecules or of macroscopic objects – Kn = 2λ/Dp= (fluid "graininess")/(particle radius)
• Mean speed of gas molecules c c

Mean Free Path • Mean free path of gases
– mean free path - λair, the average distance traveled between collisions with other gas molecules; λAB is the average distance traveled by a molecule of A before it encounters a molecule of B (for Z collisions) λ = c/Z; c = (8kT/πm)0.5
• Mean free path in particle evolution processes coagulation, deposition: diffusion of particles in air, use λair condensation: diffusion of another gas (B) to a particle in air, use λAB
λ λ

Regimes of Particle Motion
• continuum regime – Kn << 1
Dp exceeds λair , so air appears to the particle as a continuum, and the laws of continuum mechanics apply
• transition regime – Kn ≈ 1 λair and Dp are of the same order of magnitude, so transport is controlled by both continuum mechanics and kinetic theory
• free molecule regime – Kn >> 1 λair exceeds Dp, so transport controlled by the kinetic theory of gases
