Amendment to published paper: 'Turbulent coagulation model considering effects of London-van der Waals force and wettability'

摘要

This paper is to correct a mistake in our previous paper (Nakaoka et al., 2008), which originated in the solution procedure of the population-balance (PB) equation. The original PB equation derived by Smoluchowski (1917) is given as follows:rndn_k/dt=1/2∑~(i=k-1)_(i=l,i+j=k) N_(ij)-∑~∞_(i=1)N_(ik) (1)rnwhere n_k is the number density of coagulated particles composed of k-pieces of primary particles, and N_(ij) is the collision frequency between two particles, i and j, in a unit volume of liquid medium.
