Particle Deposition Mechanisms: Impaction
Particle-Surface Interactions
When two surfaces are close to each other, the hydrodynamic
lubrication effects become important. Consider a disk is moving toward
a flat surface with a velocity U as shown in Figure 1.

presence of a viscous fluid.
Using the squeezed film model, the force per unit
area needed for moving a disk towards a surface is given by
