On the influence of motion of the medium on the photophoresis of a spheroidal solid aerosol particle

This paper considers the influence of motion of the medium (account of convective terms in the heat conduction equations) on the photophoresis of a large aerosol spheroidal particle at small relative temperature drops in its vicinity. It has been shown that at a fixed ratio of semiaxes with increasing intensity of the incident radiation the total contribution of the medium motion leads to a monotonic decrease in the rate of photophoresis, whose degree depends on the equatorial radius of the spheroid.
