We discuss a simple model of particles hopping in one dimension with attractive interactions. Taking a hydrodynamic limit in which the interaction strength increases with the system size, we observe the formation of multiple clusters of…
In this paper, a partial integro-differential equation modeling of coagulation and multiple fragmentation events is studied. Our purpose is to investigate the global existence of gelling weak solutions to the continuous coagulation and…
The Marcus-Lushnikov process is a finite stochastic particle system in which each particle is entirely characterized by its mass. Each pair of particles with masses $x$ and $y$ merges into a single particle at a given rate $K(x,y)$. We…
The Smoluchowski equation is a system of partial differential equations modelling the diffusion and binary coagulation of a large collection of tiny particles. The mass parameter may be indexed either by positive integers, or by positive…
We introduce an extended Smoluchowski equation describing coagulation processes for which clusters of mass s grow between collisions with $ds/dt=As^\beta$. A physical example, dropwise condensation is provided, and its collision kernel K is…
The sticky particle system is a system of partial differential equations which assert the conservation of mass and momentum of a collection of particles that interact only via inelastic collisions. These equations arise in Zel'dovich's…
We consider a random model of diffusion and coagulation. A large number of small particles are randomly scattered at an initial time. Each particle has some integer mass and moves in a Brownian motion whose diffusion rate is determined by…
This contribution is concerned with the effective viscosity problem, that is, the homogenization of the steady Stokes system with a random array of rigid particles, for which the main difficulty is the treatment of close particles. Standard…
Colloidal gels are widely applied in industry due to their rheological character -- no flow takes place below the yield stress. Such property enables gels to maintain uniform distribution in practical formulations; otherwise, solid…
We study an infinite system of ordinary differential equations that models the evolution of coagulating and fragmenting clusters, which we assume to be composed of identical units. Under very mild assumptions on the coefficients we prove…
We introduce and analyze a novel type of coalescent processes called cross-multiplicative coalescent that models a system with two types of particles, $A$ and $B$. The bonds are formed only between the pairs of particles of opposite types…
We study a kinetic mean-field equation for a system of particles with different sizes, in which particles are allowed to coagulate only if their sizes sum up to a prescribed time-dependent value. We prove well-posedness of this model, study…
A Markov evolution of a system of point particles in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is described at micro-and mesoscopic levels. The particles reproduce themselves at distant points (dispersal) and die, independently and under the influence of each other…
We consider in this work a model for aggregation, where the coalescing particles initially have a certain number of potential links (called arms) which are used to perform coagulations. There are two types of arms, male and female, and two…
Flocculation is the process whereby particles (i.e., flocs) in suspension reversibly combine and separate. The process is widespread in soft matter and aerosol physics as well as environmental science and engineering. We consider a general…
We prove well-posedness of global solutions for a class of coagulation equations which exhibit the gelation phase transition. To this end, we solve an associated partial differential equation involving the generating functions before and…
The Smoluchowski coagulation equation (SCE) is a population balance model that describes the time evolution of cluster size distributions resulting from particle aggregation. Although it is formally a mass-conserving system, solutions may…
In this paper we prove that the time dependent solutions of a large class of Smoluchowski coagulation equations for multicomponent systems concentrate along a particular direction of the space of cluster compositions for long times. The…
We investigate the behaviour of a system of particles with the different character of interaction. The approach makes it possible to describe systems of interacting particles by statistical methods taking into account a spatial…
We prove a quantitative result of convergence of a conservative stochastic particle system to the solution of the homogeneous Landau equation for hard potentials. There are two main difficulties: (i) the known stability results for this…
