Particle capture in a matrix is considered, taking into account random orientation of the matrix fibers. Capture statistics are investigated for the case of and solutions are obtained for the mean capture radius. Finally, the results are used to calculate values of filter performance from single wire models and are found to be in good agreement with experimental data.
