Abstract:

A numerical simulation procedure for the coagulative transformation of aerosol optical and microphysical properties in a closed volume is reported. The proposed approach relies on a reduced description of the particle size distribution in terms of integrated features of polydispersions. A comparative analysis of data obtained from a laboratory experiment and a numerical simulation on smoke aerosols corroborates the utility of the present procedure.
