Particle resuspension from complex multilayer deposits by laminar flows: statistical analysis and modeling

Hao Liu, Mireille Bossy, Bernhard Vowinckel +1

Particle resuspension refers to the physical process by which solid particles deposited on a surface are, first, detached and, then, entrained away by the action of a fluid flow. I…
