Abstract

We study the dynamics and collisions of (inertial) particles in homogenous shear turbulence. Using statistical measures such as particle dispersion, relative dispersion, and particle collision rates we investigate the collision kernel. We use this collision kernel to make predictions on how a set of particles with a certain size distribution evolves in time.
