The Orientation Distribution of Nonspherical Aerosol Particles Within a Cloud.

Abstract

The orientation distribution function of fibrous and platelet-like aerosol particles was calculated for a general laminar flow by solving the Fokker-Plank equation. It has been found that this function shows maxima and minima, which indicates a preferred orientation. The cases of point source and a laminar jet are brought out as an example. Originator keywords include: Nonspherical aerosols, Orientation, Distribution, Fibrous aerosols, and Platelet aerosols.
