%X Natures and
anthropogenic particulates can travel long distances on wind flows, but
negative electrical charge due to friction can increase dispersion. Models for
calculations of distance travelling of biological particulate matter with and
without charge are never been calculated in a theoretical approach. Nor do we
realize the fact that we can calculate actual distances if we take the charge
on particles in account. Particles that travel through the air encounter
friction. Friction can be described in two ways; either in a smooth constant
way through the air with its viscous forces, or in a turbulent chaotic eddies
and vortices and other flow instabilities. In case of only viscous forces are
to be concerned, it can be described as a lower Reynolds number than one, while
in all other setting it always must be described by Reynolds numbers larger
than or equal to one. This article describes the calculated effects on
particles, either in a low Reynolds number and thus as a Navier-Stokes equation
or Stokes¡¯ Law or, in case of non-laminar and complex forces in an equal or
higher Reynolds number according to the third Law of Newton. In addition some
striking examples of particle travelling are given with evidence of natural
particulate matter long distance dispersion.
