AB - Breakup may exert a controlling influence on particle size distributions and  particles either are fractured or are eroded particle-by-particle through  shear. The shear-induced breakage of fine particles in turbulent conditions  is investigated using Taylor-expansion moment method. Their equations have  been derived in continuous form in terms of the number density function with  particle volume. It suitable for future implementation in computational fluid  dynamics modeling.
