Particle Sedimentation

Fig. 20.1

Drag

Gravity

Vertical forces acting on a particle

Drag and Gravitational ForcesDrag during Stokes flow (20.1)

Where particle radius > mean free path of air molecule (e.g., 68 nm) but small enough so its inertial force < viscous force.

Drag during slip flow (20.2)Particle radius < mean free path of an air molecule

Particle Sedimentation

Equate gravity with drag to estimate fall speed (20.4)

Small particlesLess resistance to motion ---> diffusion and fall speed enhanced at small particle sizes

Large particlesFall speed decreases due to physical properties effect --> need to correct fall speed for large particles

Estimated Reynolds NumberEstimate Reynolds number from estimated fall speed. (20.4)

Recalculate Reynolds number for three flow regimes• slip flow around a rigid sphere ( «1-20 m diameter)• continuum flow around a rigid sphere (20 m - 1 mm)

• continuum flow around equilibrium-shaped drop (1-5 mm)

Air-Sea Exchange Summary• Globally-averaged surface ocean pH may have decreased

from about 8.25 to 8.14 between 1751 and 2004

• Under the SREAS A1B emission scenario, pH may decrease to 7.85 by 2100, for an increase in the hydrogen ion by a factor of 2.5 from1751 to 2100.

• Ocean acidification may slightly increase concentrations of atmospheric acids and more significantly decrease those of bases, thereby affecting cloud and radiative properties and ocean nutrient availability.
