Discretizing aerosol dynamics with B-splines

Published: 09 March 2003 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents a discretization technique for particle dynamics equation based on the B-spline interpolation of the solution. The method is developed in the general framework recently proposed by the authors. Numerical tests include the coagulation-growth of the exponential distribution and of a cosine hill in logarithmic coordinates.
