Abstract
A general method for treating the transport of particles in dilute gas -particle hows is presented. This method formulates the particle trans port equations as a dynamical system, and utilizes the corresponding t heory to analyze the resulting dynamics. As an illustration of this te chnique, the transport of contaminant particles in a barrel-type CVD r eactor is analyzed. The background gas how field is determined via a n umerical simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. The analysis revea ls the presence of particle attractors in the flow which are particle size specific. The features of these attractors are discussed, as is t heir behavior with varying particle size. (C) 1997 American Associatio n for Aerosol Research.
