Symbols related to code variables and a brief description.
| Symbol | Code variable | Description |
|---|---|---|
| – | id | Identification number of each aggregate |
| Nmaxchain | MAX_nchains | Maximum number of chains that will be executed if Cconv is not reached |
| ncoll | N_coll | Number of consecutive collisions within a collision chain |
| Nagg,0 | NAGGREGATES | Initial number of aggregates |
| Rgrain | RGRAIN | Monomer radius |
| mgrain | MASSGRAIN | Monomer mass |
| μ | mass_ratio | Mass ratio between collision partners |
| Rlow | RLOW | Lowest initial radius value |
| Rhigh | RHIGH | Highest initial radius value |
| Rstep | RSTEP | Step size between successive radius values, for distribution calculation |
| ϕlow | FFLOW | Lowest initial filling factor value |
| ϕhigh | FFHIGH | Highest initial filling factor value |
| ϕstep | FFSTEP | Step between filling factor values, for distribution calculation |
| ϕmax | FFMAX | Maximum filling factor value reached after a collision |
| Cconv | CONV_CUTOFF | Convergence cut off: indicates the expected statistical error; if this value is reached the simulation ends |
| A1, A2 | A1, A2 | Pair of aggregates in a collision. |
| – | CALC_NFF | Indicate if mass-porosity distribution is required |
| YL | Y_l | Number of particles ejected into large fragments after a collision |
