A comparative review of mathematical models of aerosol dynamics is presented. Three approaches are considered that are based on continuous, discrete (sectional), and parametrized (lognormal) representations of the aerosol size distribution. Simulations of coagulation and diffusion-limited condensation are performed with these modeling approaches for three case studies typical of clear, hazy, and urban atmospheric aerosol concentrations. The relative accuracies and computational costs of models based on these approaches are compared. The models based on a continuous size distribution provide an accurate solution for both coagulation and condensation. Sectional approaches simulate coagulation very well but require a fine size resolution to minimize numerical diffusion in the simulation of condensation. The parametrized model based on log-normal modal size distributions is computationally efficient but tends to overestimate the rate of coagulation and the peak aerosol concentration resulting from condensatio...
