Numerical Simulation of the Smoluchowski Coagulation Equation
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 ...
متن کاملThe diffusion in the quantum Smoluchowski equation
A novel quantum Smoluchowski dynamics in an external, nonlinear potential has been derived recently. In its original form, this overdamped quantum dynamics is not compatible with the second law of thermodynamics if applied to periodic, but asymmetric ratchet potentials. An improved version of the quantum Smoluchowski equation with a modified diffusion function has been put forward in L. Machura...
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...
متن کاملCoagulation and diffusion: a probabilistic perspective on the Smoluchowski PDE
The Smoluchowski coagulation-diffusion PDE is a system of partial differential equations modelling the evolution in time of mass-bearing Brownian particles which are subject to shortrange pairwise coagulation. This survey presents a fairly detailed exposition of the kinetic limit derivation of the Smoluchowski PDE from a microscopic model of many coagulating Brownian particles that was undertak...
متن کاملSmoluchowski diffusion equation for active Brownian swimmers.
We study the free diffusion in two dimensions of active Brownian swimmers subject to passive fluctuations on the translational motion and to active fluctuations on the rotational one. The Smoluchowski equation is derived from a Langevin-like model of active swimmers and analytically solved in the long-time regime for arbitrary values of the Péclet number; this allows us to analyze the out-of-eq...
