The sedimentation of fine aerosols (particle diameter of 1-10 microns) is a more complicated challenge. The paper is devoted to the substantiation of the acoustic sedimentation method for such aerosols. On the basis of the mathematical model analysis for aerosol sedimentation by the acoustic field the mechanisms of this process have been determined and include the particle coagulation acceleration and radiation pressure effect. The experimental results of the acoustic sedimentation of a model aerosol (NaCl) are shown. The calculation results according to the mathematical model for coagulation and sedimentation, on the basis of the Smolukhovsky’s equation taking into account various mechanisms of aerosol sedimentation by sound depending on the particle sizes and sound intensity, are given. The necessity to use intensive sources of high-frequency sound has been confirmed, suggesting that these sources must be located above dust clouds.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Mechanisms of Aerosol Sedimentation by Acoustic Field}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/101409/PDF/04_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aoa-2015-0048}, keywords={fine aerosol, size distribution, acoustic impact, coagulation, sedimentation, radiation pressure}, }
