Particle on sphere

The analogous problem of impaction of particles on spheres has been studied for application to gas cleaning In packed beds and aerosol senibbing by droplets. Numerical computations of the impaction efliciency for point particles in in viscid flows around spheres have also been made. Before comparing the numerical computations with the available data, we consider theoretical limiting values for the Stokes number for impaction on cylinders and spheres.
