Simulation of coagulation and sintering of nano-structured particles using the moment method

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2011 Feb;11(2):1664-7. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2011.3315.

Abstract

In this study, a new method of simulating sintering of nano-structured particles in the frame of the moment method was developed. Simultaneous coagulation and sintering was simulated using the developed method and the results were compared with a more accurate numerical model. Good agreement was obtained between the model outputs while the new model was shown to be much more time-efficient.
