## Abstract Aggregates are considered as a porous medium. Stresses within the porous solid matrix are calculated when the particle deformation is ignored. The maximum size of the aggregates is derived from a yield condition, and the settling velocity is deduced. The influence of the mechanical prop

β¦ Synopsis
By means of a simple model of an incompressible slurry, a numerical test has been made of the effect of neglecting inertial effects in sedimentation. The results indicate that inertia cannot generally be ignored, and that an incompressible slurry will only exhibit "Type I" sedimentation.

## Abstract Most aerosols found naturally in the ambient environment or those dispersed from artificial devices such as dry powder inhalers, are electrically charged. It is known that a strong electrostatic charge on aerosols can result in transport behavior dramatically different from that of unch
An exact analytical formula for the complex polartzability of two dipoles constrained to rotate in two dimensions under the influence of their mutual dipole-dipole coupling is derived subject to the condition that the motion is lightly damped and that non-linear effects are weak. The inclusion of no
The influence of the effects associated with the inertia of particles and the surrounding fluid on the electrophoresis in an alternating electric field has been theoretically investigated. From solving the hydrodynamic equations the electrophoretic velocity of a spherical particle was found to depen
