Abstract
In this work, a finite volume scheme for the numerical solution of bivariate pure aggregation population balance equations on non-uniform meshes is derived. The new method has a simple mathematical structure and it provides high accuracy with respect to the number density distribution as well as different moments. The method relies on weights to conserve the total mass of the system. The new method is compared to a recently developed finite volume scheme by Forestier-Coste and Mancini (2012) for some selected benchmark problems. It is shown that the proposed method is not only computationally more efficient but also more accurate than the method by Forestier-Coste and Mancini (2012).
