Abstract:
The mechanism of particulate coagulation in a turbulent
plume is studied by combining the Morton-Taylor-Turner
theory of turbulent byouant plums with the present
authors' earlier analysis of coagulation in a
homogeneous system. The conservation of fluid mass,
particulate matter, momentum, and energy leads to a set
of differential equations for horizontal averages of
hydrodynamic quantities.
