SOLUTION OF A KINETIC STOCHASTIC EQUATION MODELING A SPRAY IN A TURBULENT GAS FLOW J.F.CLOUET, and K.DOMELEVO Centre de Mathematiques Appliquees Ecole Polytechnique 91128 Palaiseau Cedex, France. clouet@cmapx.polytechnique.fr, and komla@cmapx.polytechnique.fr ABSTRACT: This work studies the modeling of the effect of turbulence on spray. The spray obeys a kinetic equation. The use of the method of characteristics gives under certain assumptions the solution of the problem. When the gas velocity is modeled by using a white-noise, the solution of the problem obeys a kinetic stochastic equation and may be written in terms of a Wiener chaos expansion.
