Abstract
In the classical analyses of both Brownian (perikinetic) and velocity gradient (orthokinetic) flocculation by Smoluchowski1, particle encounters in sufficiently dilute systems are treated as binary collisions between rigid spheres. In these analyses it is assumed that the relative ¡notions between particle pairs can be described by superposition of the isolated particle motions, each particle behaving as though the others were not present. With this assumption the only permitted interactions are those of the external force fields resulting from combined attraction and repulsion. According to the far-reaching DLVO theory, the field forces are a consequence of London-van der Waals attraction and electrical double layer repulsion2.
