The turbulent dispersion of particles is of major importance in such diverse applications as liquid fuel and coal combustion, reaction quenching in (for example) petroleum chemistry, sediment transport in rivers and gas-solid separation in cyclones. In recent years there has been increased emphasis on the development of mathematical models to predict the behavior of particles and/or droplets in turbulent flows and these can be grouped under the two Page 490 May, 1984 AlChE Journal (Vol. 30, No. 3) NOTATION U~.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
