Abstract
The dispersion and deposition of particles from a point source in a turbulent channel flow are studied. An empirical mean velocity profile and the experimental data for turbulent intensities are used in the analysis. The instantaneous turbulence fluctuation is simulated as a continuous Gaussian random field, and an ensemble of particle trajectories is generated and statistically analyzed. A series of digital simulations for dispersion and deposition of aerosol particles of various sizes from point sources at different positions from the wall is performed. Effects of Brownian diffusion on particle dispersion are studied. The effects of variation in particle density and particle-surface interaction are also discussed.

On the Theory of the Brownian Motion

TL;DR: In this paper, the mean values of all the powers of the velocity $u$ and the displacement $s$ of a free particle in Brownian motion are calculated and the exact expressions for the square of the deviation of a harmonically bound particle in the Fokker-Planck partial differential equation as a function of the time and the initial deviation are obtained.

Equation of motion for a small rigid sphere in a nonuniform flow

TL;DR: In this paper, the forces on a small rigid sphere in a nonuniform flow are considered from first prinicples in order to resolve the errors in Tchen's equation and the subsequent modified versions that have since appeared.

The lift on a small sphere in a slow shear flow

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a sphere moving through a very viscous liquid with velocity V relative to a uniform simple shear, the translation velocity being parallel to the streamlines and measured relative to streamline through the centre, experiences a lift force 81·2μVa2k½/v½ + smaller terms perpendicular to the flow direction, which acts to deflect the particle towards the streamline moving in the direction opposite to V.
