AGGREGATION KINETICS VIA SMOLUCHOWSKI'S EQUATION

The use of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation to model aggregation phenomena is discussed. A computer simulation of 4096 aggregating particles on a lattice of 65536 sites is shown to be well described by Smoluchowski's equation with a constant coagulation kernel.
