Aerosol deposition from a flowing stream onto a single spherical collector with gravitational force acting transverse to the direction of flow was studied. The effects of inertial impaction, gravitation, interception and electrostatic forces were examined. In contrast to the case where gravitational force acts along the direction of the flow, the particle trajectories are not axisymmetrical and the trajectory equations are three‐dimensional. The formulation and numerical solutions of such equations represent the main task of this work.
