Abstract
The characteristics of impactors with round or rectangular nozzles have been determined by the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and of the equation of motion of the particles. The sensitivity of this solution to the system of grid lines was investigated by decreasing the spacing between them; these studies yielded sharper curves and higher √St50 for finer grids. The particle trajectory calculation program included an empirical ultra-Stokesian drag coefficient and a facility for handling particle interception. Studies comparing the results of runs made using the ultra-Stokesian drag law with those assuming Stokes law indicated that the latter underpredicts the √St20 by 5 to 10%. The influence of particle interception was found to be small except at very low Reynolds numbers, the characteristics for which demon strated low-efficiency tails. Dimensional analysis of the impactor system required the introduction of a second dimensionless quantity (in addition to the St) to char acterize the pa...
