Abstract
The erosion of agglomerates in viscous flows—a process proportional to surface area of the agglomerate—is analyzed by means of fragmentation theory. An analytical solution is obtained; this solution cannot be described by the usual scaling ansatz, nor does it have an asymptotic form. Fitting to available data is discussed.
