Abstract

Abstract: The effects of particle size on the agglomeration and spatial distribution of dust particles in unitary and binary dusty systems were experimentally studied. The agglomeration process of dust particles was characterized by direct micrograph image and the evolution of scattered light as time. The fractal dimension and average particle area in the steady state of the dust system changing as height were used to show the spatial distribution of dust particles. It shows that the binary system formed by dust particles with different sizes has more obvious agglomeration and the distribution range of particle size is wider.
