This study presents a mean-field approach for aggregation processes, revealing that steady-size distributions follow a power law. This finding aligns with atmospheric aerosol and animal group-size distributions.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Aggregation processes are fundamental in various natural and artificial systems.
  • Understanding steady-state size distributions is crucial for predicting system behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a mean-field approach for analyzing steady-state aggregation with injection.
  • To determine the conditions under which size distributions follow a power law.

Main Methods:

  • A mean-field theoretical framework was employed.
  • Analysis of aggregation processes with a focus on the coagulation kernel's homogeneity.

Main Results:

  • A power law distribution N(m) approximately m(-alpha) was derived for steady-state aggregation.

  • The exponent alpha was found to be (3+beta)/2, where beta relates to the coagulation kernel's homogeneity.
  • The model successfully predicts behaviors observed in atmospheric aerosols and fractal aggregates.
  • Conclusions:

    • The mean-field approach provides a general framework for understanding aggregation phenomena.
    • The derived power law and exponent are applicable to diverse systems, including atmospheric aerosols and biological groups.
