Unifying kinetic approach to phoretic forces and torques onto moving and rotating convex particles Martin Krögera兲 and Markus Hütterb兲 Polymer Physics, ETH Zürich, Department of Materials, Wolfgang-Pauli-Strasse 10, CH-8093 Zürich, Switzerland

共Received 1 March 2006; accepted 2 June 2006; published online 26 July 2006兲 We derive general expressions and present several examples for the phoretic forces and torques acting on a translationally moving and rotating convex tracer particle, usually a submicrosized aerosol particle, assumed to be small compared to the mean free path of the surrounding nonequilibrium gas. Point of departure is an expression of the stress tensor in terms of half-sphere integrals to be evaluated with the inhomogeneous velocity distribution function of the surrounding gas, more specifically, its approximation in terms of a finite number of moments. A worked out example covers Grad’s 13 moment approximation in and out of the so-called hydrodynamic approximation. We implement an accommodation coefficient characterizing the collision process in order to derive the tracer particle’s complete equations of motion in a form which offers the possibility for immediate numerical implementation, and the analytical exploration of the effect of particle shape and size on phoretic drift velocity. Explicit expressions for axisymmetric, spherical, cylindrical, and also cuboidal particles are presented, discussed, and successfully compared with the rarely available, previously treated special cases, thus supporting the unifying approach presented in this manuscript. © 2006 American Institute of Physics. 关DOI: 10.1063/1.2217946兴 I. INTRODUCTION

As demonstrated recently for spherical tracer 共aerosol兲 particles, phoretic forces caused by inhomogeneities in the properties of the solvent, e.g., temperature, pressure, and velocity field, give rise to combined thermo-, baro-, and rheophoresis, respectively.1 Thermophoretic forces caused by a temperature gradient induce dust structures, are of central interest in the scavenging of aerosol particles in clouds, when droplets and/or ice crystals grow or evaporate, during the fall of hydrometeors,2,3 influence the velocity measurements in particle image velocimetry measurements,4 and have been discussed in the context of nonequilibrium thermodynamics,1,5,6 and in terms of a kinetic description,7–10 leading to a stochastic differential equation for a tracer particle in a solvent.1,11 In contrast to thermophoretic forces, barophoretic effects caused by pressure gradients,12,13 and rheophoretic forces caused by velocity field gradients have been considered less frequently and not yet elaborated in an extensive, complete, or unifying fashion for nonspherical tracers. Most aerosol particles are not spherical,3,14–16 and it is therefore of considerable interest to examine the effect of particle shape on phoretic motion.17,18 In this article we will present explicit expressions for the diverse phoretic forces on dissolved ellipsoidal, cylindrical, and cuboidal tracer particles derived from forces on surface elements.1 These results will be obtained via kinetic theory in a conceptually transparent manner for particles of arbitrary convex shape, and for arbitrary solvent velocity distribution functions by halfa兲

sphere integrations over solvent velocity distribution functions before and after a collision with the tracer particle. The simultaneous incorporation of thermo-, baro-, and rheophoresis is complete in the sense that it accounts for inhomogeneities in all of the independent field variables of a nonisothermal hydrodynamic description of the solvent, but our approach equally allows to study the “nonhydrodynamic” regime. As thoroughly discussed earlier,13,19 there is no simple way to account for inertia and diffusion within a hydrodynamic framework, and a kinetic approach is necessary. The calculations to be presented can be considered as “bruteforce” approach, less elegant 共but still including兲 those presented earlier,10 but involve no approximations, and may be performed, for complex shapes, with the help of a symbolic programming language.20 Particles suspended in rarefied gases, e.g., aerosols, are often nonspherical.3 Nevertheless, calculation of phoretic effects for nonspherical particles is scarce.10,21 In this article, we describe the new approach, give specific results, and compare with earlier expressions and experiments. The resulting forces and torques can be used to write down both the Langevin dynamics and the Fokker-Planck equation 共FPE兲 for the tracer particle, suitable for immediate numerical implementation.1 The same reference embedded the dynamics of the tracer particle into a wider description that encompasses the continuum equations for the nonisothermal hydrodynamics of the solvent. Beyond-equilibrium thermodynamics22 had been used to examine the phoretic effects from a nonkinetic perspective. For a large class of symmetric convex bodies such as polyhedra, the phoretic forces 共but not the torques兲 in the presence of a temperature gradient have been calculated earlier in an elegant fashion by

Fernández de la Mora.10 Due to the polyhedra’s discrete “nature” the forces could be obtained without performing an integral. Surface integrals, however, enter the torques and also the forces for any continuously shaped tracer. Another special case 共thin disks and cylinders兲 had been treated in an approximate fashion21 where again a temperature gradient only is considered. Phoretic forces on ionic spherical particles were discussed,23 while Ref. 24 outlines how phoretic forces could, in principle, be calculated using modified Navier-Stokes equations. Some experimental data for nonspherical 共nonconvex兲 particle clusters subject to a temperature gradient are available.25 This manuscript is organized as follows. In Secs. II and III we provide background and extend the results obtained via kinetic theory1 to include angular motion. The approach takes into account an accommodation coefficient ␣ characterizing the collision process 共elastic versus diffusive, 0 艋 ␣ 艋 1, introduced in Ref. 26兲. Section III also summarizes the model ingredients, while Sec. IV reformulates phoretic forces and torques in a unifying fashion in terms of halfsphere integrals, tracer geometry-dependent integrals, and properties of the velocity distribution function of the gas. In Sec. V and Appendix A we present an analytic proof which solves the problem of evaluating half-sphere integrals of arbitrary complexity. Based on these findings, which also provide a brute-force algorithm towards the computation of phoretic accelerations for arbitrary shapes, we are in the position to formulate compact expressions for forces and torques in terms of basic surface integrals and replacement rules, cf. Sec. VI for the outline of the “procedure.” Section VII presents explicit results for a distribution function expanded in Sonine tensorial polynomials, which includes Grad’s 13 moment expansion in the hydrodynamic approximation as a special case. We apply the general expressions to tracer particles of various shapes in Sec. VIII and Appendix B, and offer recipes on how to generalize results to more complex situations albeit the calculations tend to become tedious beyond the 共comparably high compared to previous works兲 level of description chosen here. Next, we show how results simplify in the isotropic phase 共Sec. IX兲. We discuss and eventually visualize the findings, and illustrate the link between our results and experimental observations.

below. If one considers two extreme scenarios, 共i兲 ideally elastic collisions of the gas with the tracer particle and 共ii兲 diffusive collisions which immediately restore an equilibrium velocity 共Mawellian兲 distribution function in the bodyfixed frame, one can introduce an accommodation coefficient ␣ with ␣ 苸 关0 , 1兴 which allows to cover these extremes and all intermediate 共realistic兲 situations in an approximate fashion. The diffusively scattered particles obey a Maxwell velocity distribution function with vanishing average velocity with respect to the moving tracer particle. The temperature of the entire tracer particle coincides with the temperature of the undisturbed gas at its center of mass. The range of applicability of this assumption has been extensively discussed.27 Further taking into account the uncrossability of the tracer particle it has been shown earlier1,26 that the negative force onto a surface element, under the above mentioned assumptions, becomes55 − ⌸ · n = p关4共1 − ␣兲nn + 2␣1兴 · Z1 − ␣ p冑␲Z0n,

which follows from 共4兲 and 共5兲 alone if we neglect quadratic and higher order terms in ˜cT for the reason that the tracer particle can be assumed to be heavy and thus slow compared with a representative gas particle.1 In 共5兲 the symbol 䉺n ˜兲 stands for an n-fold contraction.

As we will see, starting from a non-Maxwellian, nonuniform distribution function leads to phoretic motion where the peculiar translational and rotational velocities are nonzero and the tracer particle drifts in “direction” of moments 共usually temperature, pressure, flow, or other field gradients兲 of the distribution function. The exact form of the forces and torques will depend on the shape and orientation of the tracer particle. It is essential to note that the velocity distribution function of the carrier gas is not disturbed by the presence of the tracer particle, which is a reasonable assumption for large Knudsen numbers also adopted by others.26,28 (B) Geometry of tracer particle. To perform the surface integral in 共1兲 we need to define the convex geometry of the tracer particle. For a convex body, all points on the line connecting two arbitrary points on its surface must be located inside its body. Limiting the study to convex particles has important ramifications for the following calculation. Namely, solvent particles which have collided with the tracer particle will experience subsequent collisions in the surrounding gas. A more technical aspect is the fact that the directions available for incoming and scattered particles is a half sphere, which amounts to the calculations of the socalled half-sphere integrals ubiquitous below. Any surface of a convex tracer is defined by a position vector r = r共v1 , v2兲 parametrized by two variables v1 and v2, and their ranges ⳵1 and ⳵2. The surface normal n is then obtained from the surface vector s ⬅ 共⳵r / ⳵v1兲 ⫻ 共⳵r / ⳵v2兲 by normalization, n = s / s, s = 兩s兩, and one has to choose v1,2 in an order such that n points outward the convex tracer particle, cf. Table III.

We hereby also demonstrated how to incorporate pressure gradients into the formalism, albeit the dominating contribution to the force proportional in the pressure gradient will not involve a surface integral as will be seen below. In the expression for Yx,y,z k , higher than first order spatial derivatives are neglected. The triple sum over m, n, and i usually reduces to a summation over very few terms, as we will see below, and also k, z, and n can take only values 0 or 1, further x 艋 k, y 艋 2, and the ranges for m and i depend on the chosen model. Grad’s 13 moment approximation for example is covered by M = 3, m 艋 3, and i 艋 1. The notation 共13兲 arises because we had introduced—and now take care of—the velocity ˜cT which we made dimensionless by using 冑␤ ⬀ 1 / 冑T which is not a constant on the tracer’s surface in the presence of a temperature gradient. Technically, 共13兲 means that we ˜ p = ⵱p and have to recan perform all calculations using ⵱ place in the final results for forces and torques any occurrence of a 共scalar or tensorial兲 product ˜cT ⵱ p by cT ⵱ 共冑␤ p兲, or equivalently, ˜cT ⵱ p by ˜cT共⵱p − 共p0 / 2兲 ⵱ ln T兲 共similarly for ˜ T兲. As we will see below, this operation usually is rel⌬␻ evant just for a single term with m = 1, i = n = 0. To summarize, forces and torques can be calculated in a “brute-force” fashion through calculating the geometric G tensors. These tensors, in turn, are simple sums of base-surface integrals to be introduced below for which analytic expressions will be often available.

V. HALF-SPHERE INTEGRALS

In order to evaluate the G tensors we need 共i兲 the geometryies of the tracer particle, r共v1 , v2兲 and n共v1 , v2兲, in terms of surface parameters v1,2 共including their support兲 and 共ii兲 to know how to evaluate the geometry-independent ⍀’s in terms of n. Concerning 共i兲 we are free to choose a geometry but analytic results were not available for arbitrary ones. We will hence choose, for illustrative purposes, spherical, cylindrical, ellipsoidal, and cuboidal tracer particles for which G tensors can be calculated, in principle, manually. Complex geometries can be handled through a program20 which implements the strategy outline here. 共ii兲 As shown in Appendix A the ⍀k tensors are linear combinations of mixed, symmetric tensors of the kind 关共 丢 m1兲共 丢 n−2mn兲兴sym, where 关¯兴sym denotes the dyadic produced by the dots, made symmetric in all indices, and subsequently normalized.

where int共m / 2兲 = m / 2 and int共m / 2兲 = 共m − 1兲 / 2 for even and odd m, respectively. ⍀ tensors of arbitrary rank are thus available using basic combinatorial rules,20 some relevant contraction rules are worked out in Tables I and II. Sample values for coefficients and tensors are c00 = 1, c01 = −2 / 3, c02 = 1 / 4, c12 = 1 / 4, c03 = 0, c13 = −2 / 5, and ⍀0 = 1, ⍀1 = − 32 n, and ⍀2 = 41 共nn + 1兲, respectively. The G tensors 共11兲 are then evaluated by replacing 兰dS by the double integral 兰⳵1dv1兰⳵2dv2s with s defined in Sec. III B. Sections IV and V suffice to set up a code to compute results numerically, or symbolically, but does not provide any insight about tensorial symmetries affecting the physical mechanism. VI. COMPACT NOTATION FOR GIVEN LEVEL OF DESCRIPTION

The strategy presented in the foregoing section leads us directly to generalize the compact notation proposed in Ref. 10 and 21.

simplify G and thus obtain compact expressions for forces and torques in terms of more basic surface integrals. Such an approach is possible if we had specified the distribution function of the surrounding gas, however, it is already sufficient having specified the range of indices m , i of nonvanishing 0 ␣m,i tensors for the problem at hand, cf. Sec. VIII and Table II. Let us therefore discuss the compact notation before turning to an explicit representation for a distribution function of the gas.

In this manuscript, we choose to neglect force and torque contributions nonlinear in the field gradients of the carrier gas. The quantity pA is proportional to a transport coefficient, as will be demonstrated in the examples below. In view of 共23兲 it is thus apparent that all forces and torques are premultiplied with the transport coefficient, with the important exceptions being the terms proportional to the pres˜ p.

This result is a particularly useful “intermediate” result because it clarifies the tensorial symmetries involved and therefore often allows to reduce the evaluation of a force contribution by calculating an integral with an integrand which just contains a single term rather than a sum.

The results for the reduced levels of description, 具␾11典 = 具␾20典 = 0, can be read off from our result 共23兲 by simply removing the corresponding terms. For particles with three mutually perpendicular symmetry planes, integrals containing an odd-fold 共pure or mixed兲 tensorial product of r’s and n’s vanish; thus exactly half of ˜ T兴, to menall contributions, such as F关0兴, F关具␾20典兴, and T关c tion three of these 24 terms, vanish identically. We note that the forces F关具␾11典兴 and F关0 ,˜cT兴 in 共23兲 require calculation of exactly the same surface integrals, as was noticed already, e.g., in Ref. 10. Using rule 共20兲 we see that same holds for the torques T关具␾11典兴 and T关0 ,˜cT兴. A similar statement holds also for the forces F关具␾20典兴 and F关具␾11典 ,˜cT兴 containing 具nnn典S, and related torques which include a term of the form 具nnnr典S, respectively. These considerations further reduce the number of independent terms to be computed. Still, the number is large and we recently developed a code which allows to evaluate 共23兲 using a symbolic programming language.20 The range of applicability of Grad’s distribution 共21兲 has been discussed,31–34 and specifically also in the vicinity of boundaries.35 The equilibrium Maxwell distribution is a trivial special case of 共21兲.

Sometimes, the coefficient ␭ ⬅ 15 4 kB / ms is introduced to rewrite these relationships. The main result of this section clearly highlights which surface integrals need to be computed to obtain the force and torque on the tracer particle, depending on which physical effects are accounted for. Most surface integrals in Eq. 共23兲 do not depend on r but only on n. In contrast, as soon as the torque is calculated or effects of particle rotation and pres-

It can be shown that, irrespective of the shape of the convex tracer particle of volume V, the term linear in field gradients always reads −V ⵱ p, termed “barodiffusion force”19,48 which just follows from a balance of drag and inertia.13 Even in the absence of pressure gradients the torque on a sphere does not vanish.

These isotropic averages can be derived from more general expressions valid for the uniaxial phase, Eq. 共4.2–3兲 in Ref.

After identifying the force coefficient ˜␨储 with ˜␨䊊 the isotropic averages 共43兲 are identical to the corresponding expressions 共28兲 for a spherical tracer particle for Q储 → 1. By virtue of 共42a兲 alone, the same statement holds for the torque. For Q储 ⫽ 1 the force still differs from the one for spheres, reflecting the net effect of shape on the phoretic motion.

X. CONCLUSIONS

In this manuscript we derived explicit expressions for both the forces and torques onto moving and rotating convex tracer particles for given velocity distribution function of the unperturbed, nonuniform rarefied gas. To derive the unifying expressions, we inserted the half-sphere integrals 共A5兲 with 共15兲 and the ␣ tensors, 共C8兲 with 共C5兲 into forces and torques 共1兲 with 共11兲 and 共12兲. We then obtained compact results valid for arbitrary convex tracer particles in terms of basic surface integrals, summarized in Sec. VII which include Grad’s 13th moment approximation as a special case. Concerning geometries, we have then evaluated geometrydependent integrals for the case of both axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric particles. The corresponding forces and torques have been stated and discussed. They enter the equations of motion for tracer particles immersed in a nonequilibrium gas. We further showed how to modify the forces and torques for the case where a higher order expansion needs to be considered. And we reduced the problem of the calculation of forces and torques for arbitrarily shaped convex tracers to the calculation of normalized surface integral tensors 共23兲 or G tensors 共11兲, in general, a task which we are going to automatize based on the results of this manuscript to treat complex situations.20 However, depending on the particle shape, a number of symmetry properties usually simplify this problem, as demonstrated here. Aerosol particles do not only experience the forces and torques as described in this manuscript. In addition, there are Brownian forces related to the calculated friction force by way of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Furthermore, there may be additional potential forces 共e.g., gravitational, and buoyancy兲. These can be handled via a standard Brownian dynamics simulation or Fokker-Planck equation approach.1,38,52–54 Only a few special cases of the results obtained here were spread in the literature. The presented unifying description allows us to extend the calculations to arbitrary convex shapes dissolved in an arbitrary nonuniform gas 共beyond Grad’s 13 moment approximation兲 conveniently.

In the following we will evaluate the integrals 共B1兲 or equivalently 共B2兲 for some geometries 共the axisymmetric particle is treated in Sec. VIII E兲. With these expressions at hand, the forces and torques are available through 共23兲 which contain the still unevaluated integrals. To us it seems that this approach provides the most compact and transparent presentation of explicit results, while at the same time facilitating the generalization to other geometries. In order to get a flair on how to make use of this appendix, let us show why the following contributions to the torque vanish: 共i兲 T关具␾20典兴 for a sphere, 共ii兲 T关0兴 for a cylinder, and 共iii兲 T关具␾11典 ,˜cT兴 for a cube. Case 共i兲: according to 共23兲 with 共20兲 we have T关具␾20典兴 = c1⑀ : 共具␾20典 : 具nnnr典S兲 + c2⑀ : 共具␾20典 : 具关1n兴symr典S with constant coefficients c1,2, to be evaluated for a sphere. Here, 具nnnr典䊊 ⬀ 具nnnn典䊊 关due to Eq. 共B3兲兴 which is symmetric in the last two indices, ⑀ : A vanishes if A is symmetric, and thus the term with c1 vanishes. Similarly, 具␾20典 : 具关1n兴symr典䊊 ⬀ 具␾20典 : 具共1nn + inin + niin兲典䊊 simplifies to 2具␾20典 共which is again symmetric兲 because 具␾20典 is also traceless by definition, 共具␾20典 : 1 = 0兲, and 具nn典 ⬀ 1 关due to Eq. 共B4兲兴. Case 共ii兲: we derived T关0兴 ⬀ ⑀ : 具nr典S for arbitrary geometries. For a cylinder, r = c1n + c2v2e3 holds 共cf. Table III兲, thus T关0兴 ⬀ ⑀ : 具nv2典储e3 since nn is symmetric and does not contribute. Finally, because n, for a cylinder, is independent of v2 and v2 苸 关−1 , 1兴 共torque with respect of center of mass for a homogeneous cylinder兲, the surface integral vanishes. Case 共iii兲: we have T关具␾11典 ,˜cT兴 ˜ T · 具nnnr典S兲兴, in general.

Here, r / R = cos v1e1 + sin v1e2 + Q储v2e3 with v1 苸 关0 , 2␲兴 and v2 苸 关−1 , 1兴, thus n = cos v1e1 + sin v1e2, s = R, A = 4␲R2Q储, V = ␲R2h = 2␲R3Q储, and height to diameter ratio Q储. Again, we take into account a basic symmetry consideration to evaluate 共B2兲 and trace integrals with ␨ ⬎ 0 or z ⬎ 0 back to integrals of lower rank, in the light of the representation r = R共n + v2Q储e3兲. All integrals can be rewritten in terms of 1 and p储 ⬅ e3e3 since p储 = 1 − e1e2 − e2e2. These considerations lead, for x = 2 and x = 4, for example, to the ansatz 具共 丢 2n兲典储 = c11 + c2P储 ,
