Title: Fluxes and fluctuations in diffusion-limited cluster-cluster aggregation
Abstract:
Consider a collection of particles which are moving around by some transport mechanism such as diffusion. When two particles meet, they stick together with some probablility to form a new particle whose mass is the sum of the original two. This process, known as Cluster-Cluster Aggregation, is connected to a surprisingly broad spectrum of modelling problems ranging from physics and chemistry to geomorphology and socio-dynamics. In the first part of the talk, I will give a general overview of Cluster-Cluster Aggregation and its applications. In the second part of the talk I will outline the kinds of questions arising in my own research. These come from exploiting a close analogy between aggregating particle systems in the presence of a particle source and phenomenological theories of cascade processes
in turbulent systems.
