Introduction to Aerosol Modelling - From Theory to Code

Aerosol particles are solid or liquid particles suspended in a carrier gas, and are of interest across many disciplines. This book provides training in translating theory into code to reproduce models of key processes, and to predict change and impact. It is intended for undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, and anyone who wishes to better understand the pathways to aerosol model development.

Aerosol particles are solid or liquid particles suspended in a carrier gas, with significant implications across various disciplines. Understanding aerosol physics and generation mechanisms is crucial for optimizing fuel delivery and drug delivery to the lungs, as well as in manufacturing processes. Aerosol scientists often work at the intersection of physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and computing to study these particles. The impacts of aerosol particles are linked to their evolving chemical and physical characteristics, which in turn reflect their sources and subsequent processes. Computational models are essential for constructing evidence-based understanding of important aerosol processes and predicting change and impact.

This book aims to bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks and code translation by providing readers with the necessary skills to reproduce models of key aerosol processes. It will guide you through the process of constructing a demonstrator 0D box-model of a coupled gaseous-particulate system, allowing you to apply your knowledge in practical applications. Whether you are a researcher, engineer, or student interested in aerosol science, this book will be a valuable resource for your studies and research.
