Abstract
An analysis is carried out to determine the combined effect of van der Waals and viscous fluid forces on coagulation of spherical aerosol particles in the free molecular, transition, and continuum regimes. The effect of viscous forces is taken into account by modifying the particle diffusion coefficient. An asymptotic solution is substituted for the classical formulation of viscous forces. The results of free molecular and continuum regimes are then extended to the transition size range by an interpolation formula.
