Diffusion theory time-dependent, history

The first term of Eq. (11-11) is the Stokes drag for steady motion at the instantaneous velocity. The second term is the added mass or virtual mass contribution which arises because acceleration of the particle requires acceleration of the fluid. The volume of the added mass of fluid is 0.5 F, the same as obtained from potential flow theory. In general, the instantaneous drag depends not only on the instantaneous velocities and accelerations, but also on conditions which prevailed during development of the flow. The final term in Eq. (11-11) includes the Basset history integral, in which past acceleration is included, weighted as t — 5) , where (t — s) is the time elapsed since the past acceleration. The form of the history integral results from diffusion of vorticity from the particle.
