The most useful parameter for describing the dynamic behavior of a particle in the air-borne state is the aerodynamic diameter. The criterion for this definition of particle size is the steady-state velocity which the air-borne particle attains relative to the surrounding air under the influence of an external force field acting upon the mass of the particle. Thus, we define the aerodynamic or kinetic diameter of a particle as the diameter of a sphere of unit density which, in a mechanical force field, assumes the same steady-state velocity as the actual particle under consideration. The aerodynamic diameter is, therefore, generally fictitious, but it properly describes the dynamic characteristics of an air-borne particle without requiring information about the particle shape or density. If the density is known, we would be closer to reality by using the Stokes diameter, which, by the same criterion of equal steady-state velocity, is defined as the size of a sphere having the same density as the actual particle. In the case of sptmrical particles, the actual size and the Stokes diameter are identical. Stokes' law relates this size, Ds~, to the steady-state velocity u by
