Dry Deposition of Particles: Comparison of Published Experimental Results with Model Predictions

  • Chapter

Abstract

Published particle depostion velocity data from well documented field and wind tunnel experiments are compared with the values predicted by Sehmel’s semi-empirical model. It is found that at low shear stresses the predicted values are systematically greater than the measured ones. The increase of deposition velocity towards low shear stress predicted by Sehmel, being not explicable by known physical processes, has not been verified by the experimental data either. Systematic discrepancies between measured and predicted velocities as a function of particle size are also found.
