The capability of predicting the adhesion forces between a rough particle and surface
including the van der Waals force and capillary force is important for modeling various
processes involving particle surface retention and resuspension. On the basis of the fractal
theory describing the behavior of multiple roughness scales and the Gaussian roughness
distribution, a set of mathematical models for the van der Waals force and capillary force is
proposed. The proposed models provide the adhesion force predictions in good agreement …
