Relationship between particle deposit characteristics and the mechanism of particle arrival.

An on-lattice Monte Carlo model is implemented for the simulation of particle deposit growth by advection and diffusion towards a flat surface. The particle deposit structure is characterized by its bulk (density) and interface (mean height and surface width) properties. Numerical correlations, fitted by simple expressions, are reported for these magnitudes, relating them to time (number of deposited particles) and Peclet number. Also a heuristic argument is presented which relates deposit density to local diffusion-limited-aggregation-like processes and interfacial dynamics to the KPZ model.
