Untersuchung und Modellierung der Aufwirbelung von auf Oberflächen abgelagerten Partikelschichten

The paper describes an experimental method to create reproducible particle layers. These layers are to be resuspended. The resuspension process itself is monitored coincidentally with an optical method. A theoretical approach to the phenomena uses a balance of forces effecting at a characteristic particle of the layer to estimate a resuspension coefficient. This coefficient describes resuspension in the way mass transfer coefficients describe mass transfer phenomena in fluids.
