Summary Various approximations to Basset's equation for the motion of a particle in a viscous fluid have been applied to the complex phenomenon of dispersion in a turbulent fluid. The deviations of the particle motion from the fluid motion, as predicted by the various approximations, is explored, and the frequencies for which this deviation is large are described. The approximations are found to be invalid for such cases as sediment transport and motion of gas bubbles in liquids. For small, 7 micron, liquid or solid particles in air, however, all approximations are shown to be valid for turbulent frequencies below 812 cps.
