Aerosol Chemistry and Physics
This topic combines aerosol chemistry:
- formation of secondary aerosol
- chemical characterisation & surface properties
- interaction with trace gases & heterogeneous chemistry
aerosol physics:
- aerosol optics
- aerosol generation
- aerosol characterisation
and modelling of the aerosol processes and properties using own developments and public software:
- process models (e.g. COSIMA combined with MCM, MAID)
- Mie, T-matrix, and distributed dipole approximation codes; RDG optics of fractals
- Computational fluid dynamics simulations
