The Modeling of Coagulation Kinetics in Complex Laminar Flow
The results showed that mass transfer must be included in the coagulation modeling. Further, the traditional approaches to modeling orthokinetic coagulation in a complex flow were found to in error. Specifically, the use of Camp and Stein's (1943) root-mean-square velocity-gradient failed account for the spatial variation of strain-rate in the complex flow. The modeling analysis indicates that a more comprehensive technique is required to accurately predict orthokinetic coagulation in a complex flow.
