AbstractSummary A theory of doublet formation, the first step in coagulation of dilute monodisperse spherical sols subjected to shearing motion, in which Brownian motion dominates the effects of shear is presented. Contrary to Smoluchowski's predictions, it is found that the increase in the rate of coagulation due to shear is not proportional to the shear rateG, but toG1/2 with the proportionality constant depending on the perikinetic capture efficiency, the translational diffusion constant and sphere radius. With non-spherical particles the increase rate due to shear also varies with G1/2 and depends, in addition, on particle size and shape.
