Summary
Gravitational coagulation of particles in turbulent flow is investigated with respect to the electrostatic forces. As turbulence mixes particle trajectories at large distances, its account reduces the consideration of drawing particles together till some definite distance. Taking into account hydrodynamical forces of interaction, series converging faster thanHocking's one and their more exact values are obtained. For electrostatic forces series with better convergence are also obtained. Equations of moment were solved numerically on electronic computer BESM-2. Results of collection efficiency computation are given.
