Variable-range Projection Model for Turbulence-driven Collisions
K. Gustavsson, B. Mehlig, M. Wilkinson +1
We discuss the probability distribution of relative speed of inertial particles suspended in a highly turbulent gas when the Stokes numbers, a dimensionless measure of their i…

Stokes trapping and planet formation
M. Wilkinson, B. Mehlig, V. Uski
It is believed that planets are formed by aggregation of dust particles suspended in the turbulent gas forming accretion disks around developing stars. We describe a mechanism, ter…

Colliding Particles in Highly Turbulent Flows
Bernhard Mehlig, Ville Uski, Michael Wilkinson
We discuss relative velocities and the collision rate of small particles suspended in a highly turbulent fluid. In the limit where the viscous damping is very weak, we estimate the…
