A stochastic model of the dynamics of an ensemble of spheres

We develop a stochastic model for describing the behaviour of a cloud of spherical projectiles. The equation of motion of a single sphere is perturbed by the addition of a random force term, and the width and length of the cloud are determined by performing ensemble averages. Analytical expressions containing two parameters are fitted to experimental data and excellent agreement is obtained.
