Aerosol (TSP) samples were collected at the summit of Mount Tai (elevation: 1534 m a.s.l., 36.25 N, 117.10 E) located in the North China Plain using a highvolume air sampler and pre-combusted quartz filters. Sampling was conducted on day/night or 3 h basis in the period from 29 May to 28 June 2006 during the field burning of wheat straw residue and the post-burning season. The filter samples we...

This work studies the influence of phoretic motion (thermophoresis and diffusiophoresis) fine alumina particles (“smoke”) produced during combustion aluminum. Direct numerical simulations on a single aluminum droplet burning in quiescent environment suggest that thermophoresis is main mechanism driving smoke back to surface, hence major contributor oxide lobe development. The presence this foun...
