We present a numerical method of simulating the aerosol processes of coagulation, condensational growth, and evaporation over a hybrid size grid. In the hybrid grid, the volume of involatile core material is constant for each size bin, but the volume of volatile material fluctuates. Since particles in each bin grow and evaporate at their own pace, particles from one bin can obtain the same volume as those from another bin while maintaining different composition. Similarly, particles from different bins that grow to the same size can evaporate back to their respective original core sizes. Allowing independent growth of particles inhibits numerical diffusion since particles in each bin grow or evaporate to their actual sizes. When two particles coagulate, they form a new particle with core volume between the core volumes of particles in two other bins. We partition the new particle and its total volume between these two bins. Similarly, we adapt other processes, such as nucleation, emissions, and transport ...
