A mode-coupling theory for the motion of a strongly forced probe particle in a dense colloidal suspension is presented. Starting point is the Smoluchowski equation for $N$ bath and a single probe particle. The probe performs Brownian motion…
Our ability to numerically model and understand the complex flow behavior of solid-bearing suspensions has increased significantly over the last couple of years, partly due to direct numerical simulations that compute flow around individual…
Results from a modified Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) model are presented. The modifications of the classical DLA model are in the attachment to the cluster rules and in the scheme of particle generation/killing. In the classical DLA…
If the rates, $K(x,y)$, at which particles of size $x$ coalesce with particles of size $y$ is known, then the mean-field evolution of the particle-size distribution of an ensemble of irreversibly coalescing particles is described by the…
New model equations are derived for dynamics of self-aggregation of finite-size particles. Differences from standard Debye-Huckel and Keller-Segel models are: the mobility of particles depends on the configuration of their neighbors and…
A numerical method for approximating weak solutions of an aggregation equation with degenerate diffusion is introduced. The numerical method consists of a stabilized finite element method together with a mass lumping technique and an extra…
We consider the multicomponent Smoluchowski coagulation equation under non-equilibrium conditions induced either by a source term or via a constant flux constraint. We prove that the corresponding stationary non-equilibrium solutions have a…
The motion of tiny heavy particles transported in a co-rotating vortex pair, with or without particle inertia and sedimentation, is investigated. The dynamics of non-inertial sedimenting particles is shown to be chaotic, under the combined…
We establish nearly optimal rates of convergence to self-similar solutions of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation with kernels $K = 2$, $x + y$, and $xy$. The method is a simple analogue of the Berry-Ess\'een theorem in classical…
The notion of a successful coupling of Markov processes, based on the idea that both components of the coupled system ``intersect'' in finite time with probability one, is extended to cover situations when the coupling is unnecessarily…
We study flocking in one dimension, introducing a lattice model in which particles can move either left or right. We find that the model exhibits a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition from a condensed phase, in which a single `flock'…
We place additional constraints on the three parameters of the dark matter halo merger rate function recently proposed by Parkinson, Cole & Helly by utilizing Smoluchowski's coagulation equation, which must be obeyed by any binary merging…
We study hydrodynamic limits of the cluster coagulation model; a coagulation model introduced by Norris [$\textit{Comm. Math. Phys.}$, 209(2):407-435 (2000)]. In this process, pairs of particles $x,y$ in a measure space $E$, merge to form a…
In this paper we study the discrete coagulation--fragmentation models with growth, decay and sedimentation. We demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of classical global solutions provided the linear processes are sufficiently strong.…
Numerical simulations of Diffusion-Limited and Reaction-Limited Cluster-Cluster Aggregation processes of identical particles are performed in a two-dimensional box. It is shown that, for concentrations larger than a characteristic gel…
In this work we study the stochastic process of two-species coagulation. This process consists in the aggregation dynamics taking place in a ring. Particles and clusters of particles are set in this ring and they can move either clockwise…
We present a detailed study of the statistics of a system of diffusing aggregating particles with a steady monomer source. We emphasise the case of low spatial dimensions where strong diffusive fluctuations invalidate the mean-field…
Natural flocks (aligned) and swarms (non-aligned) both exhibit features of near-criticality, challenging their treatment as two ends of the same phase transition. We present a model for the aggregation of active individuals, in which their…
We develop a kinetic theory of Brownian particles with long and short range interactions. We consider both overdamped and inertial models. In the overdamped limit, the evolution of the spatial density is governed by the generalized mean…
A simple, discrete, parametric model is proposed to describe conditional (correlated) deposition of particles on a surface and formation of a connecting (percolating) cluster. The surface changes spontaneously its properties (phase…
