Abstract

We present a refinement of a model due to Mondal and Mazumder [7] for dis- persion of fine particles in an oscillatory turbulent flow. The model is based on the time-dependent advection-diffusion equation posed on a semi-infinite strip, whose solution represents the concentration of particles over time and down-stream distances.
