Abstract
RECENTLY a study has been completed in this Department of the effect of the geometry and spacing of particles on the forces experienced by them when fluid passes through the array. The results provide an interesting commentary on the recent destruction of three cooling towers at the Central Electricity Generating Board's Ferrybridge Power Station. The towers were destroyed in a severe gale on November 1, 1965.
