For efficiency the aerosol population can be weighted so that the true number distribution is given by
where is a fixed weighting function,
is the computational (simulated) number distribution, and
is the diameter. Thus a large value of
means that relatively few computational particles are used at diameter
, while a small value of
means that relatively many computational particles will be used at that diameter.
The aerosol weighting function is specified by the parameters:
weight
is power
then the next parameter is:exponent
to 0 is equivalent to no weighting, while setting the exponent negative uses more computational particles at larger diameters and setting the exponent positive uses more computational particles at smaller diameters; in practice exponents between 0 and -3 are most usefulSee also:
