A stochastic method for solving Smoluchowskiʹs coagulation equation Original Research Article

This paper studies a stochastic particle method for the numerical treatment of Smoluchowskiʹs equation governing the coagulation of particles in a host gas. Extensions of the method to the spatially inhomogeneous case are proposed. The coagulation process in an isotropic, fully developed turbulent flow is studied, and numerical examples are presented.
