Aerodynamic properties of fractal aerosol particles

Theoretical relations between the mass equivalent and the mobility equivalent radii of fractalparticles are derived for step as well as for exponential cutoff conditions. These are used to determine the fractal dimension and the average radius of the primary particles from form factor measurements....

Summary:Theoretical relations between the mass equivalent and the mobility equivalent radii of fractalparticles are derived for step as well as for exponential cutoff conditions. These are used to determine the fractal dimension and the average radius of the primary particles from form factor measurements. A computer simulation study demonstrates the enormous effect of low fractal dimensions on the sedimentation and coagulation behaviour of aerosol systems.
