Measurement of the Aerodynamic Drag Force on Single Aerosol Particles

Dynamics of a spherical particle in mixed convection flow field

“…Davis and Schweiger (2002) provided a recent comprehensive review on particle electric levitation with numerous references. Other investigators measured drag force in similar devices and used them for various applications such as size measurements (Davis & Periasamy, 1985), aerodynamic effects (Davis, Zhang, Fulton, & Periasamy, 1987), and mass transfer from a single particle .…”

Thermally induced structural changes in coal combustion

“…The particle is rebalanced. The difference in balancing voltages corresponds to the aerodynamic drag force (Davis, et al, 1987). Implementing this technique would require extensive modifications to the chamber and extensive calibration work.…”
