Collisions and recollisions of identical inertial particles in random velocity fields
Collisions and recollisions of identical inertial particles in random velocity fields
Finding a quantitative description of the rate of collisions between small particles suspended in mixing flows is a long-standing problem. Here we investigate the validity of a universal parameterisation of the collision rate for identical particles subject to Stokes force, based on results for relative velocities of inertial particles obtained …
