Discussion of "The electrohydrodynamic origin of turbulence in electrostatic precipitators

The commenter disagrees with P. Atten et. al. (ibid., vol.23, no.4, p.705-11, 1987) on their prediction of turbulence degree and precipitation efficiency, independent of aerodynamic properties of the electrostatic precipitator. In replying the authors claim their arguments to be valid in zones where the space charge due to the particles is relatively high.<
