Abstract
A Boltzmann-like model is developed for particle transport in presence of c oagulation, in which evolution equations for the number densities of small and large particles are derived. Unlike the standard Boltzmann equation, nu mber densities have a dependence on the particle mass, (C) 2001 Elsevier Sc ience Ltd. All rights reserved.
