Kinetic Monte Carlo method applied to micrometric particle detachment mechanisms by aerodynamic forces.

The formulation of a kinetic Monte Carlo simulation to account for the different possible mechanisms present in the problem of resuspension of aerosol particles is addressed as an extension of a former model Benito(201626-37). The re-entrainment of micrometer particles to airflow when detached from a surface by aerodynamic forces is modeled using the similitude of the problem with the desorption process from heterogeneous surfaces. Depending on the relative role of the intervening forces, three main mechanisms for movement initiation can be present:,and.
