Abstract

Two limit behaviours of a simple model of aerosol are considered. The only force acting on aerosol particles is a friction due to the flow of gas. It is first proved that in the limit of an infinite friction coefficient, the particles are simply advected by the gas. Then we consider very dilute sprays of aerosol, i.e. with distribution functions which are monokinetic (Dirac mass in velocity). This approach leads to a macroscopic system with a free-boundary problem.
