Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Full Screen / Esc Abstract In cloud modeling studies, the time evolution of droplet size distributions due to collision-coalescence events is usually modeled with the kinetic collection equation (KCE) or Smoluchowski coagulation equation. However, the KCE is a deterministic equation with no stochastic fluctuations or correlations. Therefore, the full stochastic 5 description of cloud droplet growth in a coalescing system must be obtained from the solution of the multivariate master equation, which models the evolution of the state vector for the number of droplets of a given mass. Unfortunately, due to its complexity, only limited results were obtained for certain type of kernels and monodisperse initial conditions. In this work, a novel numerical algorithm for the solution of the multivariate 10 master equation for stochastic coalescence that works for any type of kernels, mul-tivariate initial conditions and small system sizes is introduced. The performance of the method was checked by comparing the numerically calculated particle mass spectrum with analytical solutions of the master equation obtained for the constant and sum kernels. Correlation coefficients were calculated for the turbulent hydrodynamic 15 kernel, and true stochastic averages were compared with numerical solutions of the kinetic collection equation for that case. The results for collection kernels depending on droplet mass demonstrates that the magnitude of correlations are significant, and must be taken into account when modeling the evolution of a finite volume coalescing system.
