Multi-Monte Carlo method for coagulation and condensation/evaporation in dispersed systems.

A new multi-Monte Carlo (MMC) method is promoted to consider general dynamic equation (GDE) for particle coagulation and condensation/evaporation. MMC method introduces the concept of a "weighted fictitious particle" and is based on time-driven Monte Carlo technique, constant number of fictitious particles technique, and constant volume technique. MMC method for independent coagulation, for independent condensation/evaporation, and for simultaneous coagulation and condensation/evaporation are validated by some special cases in which analytical solutions exist, in which numerical results agree with corresponding analytical solutions well. Furthermore, the computation cost of MMC method is low enough to be applied in engineering computation and general scientific quantitative analysis.
