Abstract: These two courses (Tutorials 1 and 5) form a
sequence that covers basic aerosol mechanics (particle
motion) at an introductory level. Topics in Part 1 include
the aerodynamics of single particles, Stokes law, settling
velocity, slip correction, aerodynamic diameter, nonspherical
particles, acceleration, relaxation time, stopping
distance, impaction, electrical mobility, and aerosol
sampling. Part 2 will discuss the collective behavior of
aerosols, e.g., Brownian motion, diffusion, deposition,
filtration, condensation, and coagulation, and their effects
on particle size distributions. The course covers theory
and applications and is suitable for those new to the field
and for others who want to brush up on the basics.
Richard C. Flagan is the McCollum/Corcoran Professor
and Executive Officer for Chemical Engineering at the
California Institute of Technology where he teaches
chemical engineering and environmental science. He
has served as president of AAAR and editor-in-chief of
Aerosol Science and Technology. His research spans
the field of aerosol science, including atmospheric
aerosols, aerosol instrumentation, aerosol synthesis of
nanoparticles and other materials, and bioaerosols. His
many contributions to the field of aerosol science have
been acknowledged with the Sinclair Award of the AAAR
and the Fuchs Award.
