Abstract

This paper presents a general framework for the discretization of particle dynamics equations by projection methods, which include Galerkin and collocation techniques. The framework enables a unified and simultaneous numerical treatment of different dynamic processes like coagulation and growth. Based on the framework a discretization over piecewise polynomial spaces and a spectral discretization are discussed. Numerical examples are given using both linear and logarithmic coordinates. © 2003 IMACS. Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
