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…
On the Aggregation of Inertial Particles in Random Flows
B. Mehlig, M. Wilkinson, K. Duncan +2
We describe a criterion for particles suspended in a randomly moving fluid to aggregate. Aggregation occurs when the expectation value of a random variable is negative. This random…
Caustics in turbulent aerosols
M. Wilkinson, B. Mehlig
Networks of caustics can occur in the distribution of particles suspended in a randomly moving gas. These can facilitate coagulation of particles by bringing them into close proxim…
The path-coalescence transition and its applications
M. Wilkinson, B. Mehlig
We analyse the motion of a system of particles subjected a random force fluctuating in both space and time, and experiencing viscous damping. When the damping exceeds a certain thr…
