Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Experimental data are presented on the efficiency of electrostatic precipitation of aqueous aerosol particles on a strongly charged sphere in the medium Reynolds number range (Re = 10–100). The asymptotic solutions for the problem are presented, and typical errors allowable in interpreting this type of experiment are discussed.
