Abstract
The random walk source model is a displacement model where particles coming out
of a source are displacing neighbor particles. The deformation of particle fronts
moving towards objects carry the information about the fluid dynamical properties of
the flow, as lift coefficient and drag coefficient. It is shown in numerical experiments,
that the deformation of straight fronts pushing towards and passing an object also
define an area behind the object where particles lack in comparison to an undeformed
front. This aera (in the moment the separated fronts meet again), multiplicated with
factor 2, is the added mass, assuming the particle represented by pixel, have a mass.
This is a new way to determine the added mass in a random walk experiment.
