Stochastic weighted particle methods for population balance equations with coagulation, fragmentation and spatial inhomogeneity

- Problems concerning multi-compartment population balance equations are studied.
- A class of fragmentation weight transfer functions is presented.
- Three stochastic weighted algorithms are compared against the direct simulation algorithm.
- The numerical errors of the stochastic solutions are assessed as a function of fragmentation rate.
- The algorithms are applied to a multi-dimensional granulation model.
