Particle Dynamics with Aggregation and Fragmentation: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers

The main goal of this book is to provide a complete overview of particle aggregation and fragmentation. It uses broad physical principles such as conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, draws on rigorous mathematical theory and modern high-performance computing, and provides extensive references.
