Calculation of Aggregate Friction Coefficient From Active Surface
The hydrodynamic behaviour of fractal-like soot aggregates suspended in a viscous fluid is of considerable importance for their transport and depositional properties. The calculation of the drag force on a fractal aggregate consisting of primary spherules, henceforth called monomers, involves solving numerically Stokes equation for a low Reynolds number steady flow past the aggregate (Filippov, 2000). Analytical treatments usually require simplifying assumptions like aggregate spherical symmetry.
