Abstract
Computational methods for evolution of unipolar charge distribution on fibers and platelets were developed based on population balance equat ions. The minimum flux criteria were extended to obtain the ion acquis ition rate for these nonspherical aerosols. Simulation results showed that evolution of charge distribution is independent of initial charge distribution and dependent on particle morphology and size.
