| Popis: |
We study the capture of particles advected by flows around a fixed cylinder. We derive theoretically the power law of the capture efficiency, usually obtained from data fitting only. Simulations of particle trajectories reveal that captured particles following the power law are smaller than the boundary layer of the cylinder and experience direct interception, whereas the ones diverging from it are larger and observe inertial impaction. We show that a simple comparison between the particle size and boundary layer thickness splits accurately numerical results into their dominant capture mode. This criterion is practical in experiments and simulations, and would lift the controversy on the scaling of the capture efficiency. |
