Stokes spore dispersal aerodynamics

Layer 3 — Biologyin the Fungal Biology subtree

Stokes 1851: terminal velocity v_s = (2/9)(ρ_s-ρ_a)g r²/η for Re<1. Fungal spore (1-50 μm) trajectories follow advection-diffusion with v_s settling; spore-shooting fungi (Pilobolus, ascomycetes) use ballistospore turgor catapult to…
