Abstract
The results showed that mass transfer must be included in the coagulation modeling. Further, the traditional approaches to modeling orthokinetic coagulation in a complex flow were found to in error. Specifically, the use of Camp and Stein's (1943) root-mean-square velocity-gradient failed account for the spatial variation of strain-rate in the complex flow. The modeling analysis indicates that a more comprehensive technique is required to accurately predict orthokinetic coagulation in a complex flow.
