Figures & data

FIG. 1. To the derivation of Equation (6)[6] : the perimeter of the calculated volume is represented by a thick solid line.

FIG. 2. Self-preserving size distribution function calculated with consideration of pair collisions (dashed curves) and pair and triple collisions (solid curves).

FIG. 3. Enhanced collision frequency in simulations of Brownian coagulation of spherical agglomerates, d_f = 3, with β_dilute = 6.4 × 10^{− 16} m³/s and the initial size 2R₀ = 1 μm.

FIG. 4. Temporal dependence of the mean number of monomers in spherical agglomerates for f = 3%.

FIG. 5. Temporal dependence of the geometric standard deviation, σ, the enhanced collision frequency, γ, and the volume fraction, f, in simulation of the fractal particles (d_f = 1.8) growth kinetics.
