Abstract
A simple sticking probability model is used for deducing a kernel capable t o describe the kinetics of computer-simulated irreversible aggregation proc esses. Not only the diffusion- and reaction-limited aggregation regimes wer e fitted but also the whole transition region. The deduced kernel establish es lambda = 0 for the entire range of sticking probabilities and helps to u nderstand how irreversible cluster-cluster aggregation works.
