Diffusion and coagulation are investigated in a random, isotropic flow in the presence of hydrodynamic interactions, interparticle forces, and Brownian diffusion. Different strain and rotation rate time scales characterize the velocity field and the particles are assumed small compared with the characteristic length of the flow, so that the velocity field is linear in the vicinity of the particles. The pair probability equation for the relative motion of two particles is written in terms of a diffusion tensor and a drift velocity. This technique is valid in the limit of small strain, i.e., when the product of the characteristic velocity gradient and time scale of the fluctuating velocity gradient is small. A consequence of the drift velocity is that, at steady state in a noncoagulating system, the pair probability distribution is nonuniform when hydrodynamic interactions are included, and there is a higher probability of particle pairs at close proximity. The pair probability conservation equation is used...
