High-Order Finite Volume Methods for Aerosol Dynamic Equations

Abstract

AbstractAerosol modeling is very important to study the behavior of aerosol dynamics in atmospheric environment. In this paper we consider numerical methods for the nonlinear aerosol dynamic equations on time and particle size. The finite volume element methods based on the linear interpolation and Hermite interpolation are provided to approximate the aerosol dynamic equation where the condensation and removal processes are considered. Numerical examples are provided to show the efficiency of these numerical methods.
