Calculate the aerodynamic mobility of a particle.

This is defined as the ratio of the slip correction factor to the product of the dynamic viscosity of the fluid, the particle radius, and a slip correction constant derived. This mobility quantifies the ease with which a particle can move through a fluid.

Arguments

  • radius : The radius of the particle (m).
  • slip_correction_factor : The slip correction factor for the particle in the fluid (dimensionless).
  • dynamic_viscosity : The dynamic viscosity of the fluid (Pa.s).

Returns

The particle aerodynamic mobility (m^2/s).

Examples

Example
aerodynamic_mobility = particle_aerodynamic_mobility(
    radius=0.00005,
    slip_correction_factor=1.1,
    dynamic_viscosity=0.0000181,
)
