Numerical Simulation of the Smoluchowski Coagulation Equation

چکیده
The Smoluchowski coagulation equation is a mean-field model for the growth of clusters (particles, droplets,...) by binary coalescence, that is, the driving growth mechanism is the merger of two particles into a single one. In the simple situation where each particle is fully identified by its volume, it describes the dynamics of the volume distribution function f = f(t, x) ≥ 0 of particles of volume x > 0 at time t ≥ 0 and reads [12, 35]

A stochastic method for solving Smoluchowski's coagulation equation
{ This paper studies a stochastic particle method for the numerical treatment of Smoluchowski equation governing the coagulation of particles in a host gas. Convergence in probability is established for the Monte Carlo estimators, when the number of particles tends to in nity. The deterministic limit is characterized as the solution of a discrete in time version of the Smoluchowski equation. Un...
متن کاملConvergence of stochastic particle systems undergoing advection and coagulation
The convergence of stochastic particle systems representing physical advection, inflow, outflow and coagulation is considered. The problem is studied on a bounded spatial domain such that there is a general upper bound on the residence time of a particle. The laws on the appropriate Skorohod path space of the empirical measures of the particle systems are shown to be relatively compact. The pat...
متن کاملAnalytical and Numerical Approaches in Coagulation of Particles
In this paper we discuss the effect of unbounded particle interaction operator on particle growth and we study how this can address the choice of appropriate time steps of the numerical simulation. We provide also rigorous mathematical proofs showing that large particles become dominating with increasing time while small particles contribute negligibly. Second, we discuss the efficiency of the ...
متن کاملMultiscale simulations for suspensions of rod-like molecules
We study the Doi model for suspensions of rod–like molecules. The Doi model couples a microscopic Fokker–Planck type equation (Smoluchowski equation) to the macroscopic Stokes equation. The Smoluchowski equation describes the evolution of the distribution of the rod orientations; it comes as a drift–diffusion equation on the sphere at every point in physical space. For sufficiently high macrosc...
متن کاملDust and self-similarity for the Smoluchowski coagulation equation
We establish the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the Smoluchowski coagulation equation in the homogeneous space L̇1 for a class of homogeneous coagulation rates of degree λ ∈ [0, 2). For any initial datum fin ∈ L̇1 we build a weak solution which conserves the mass when λ ≤ 1 and loses mass in finite time (gelation phenomena) when λ > 1. We then extend the existence result to a measure fr...
