 The code I emailed you is one of my research codes to solve Smoluchowski equation (a
 population-balance equation useful to investigate agglomeration
 problems).

 As time progresses, the total volume is conserved, whereas the overall
 particle concentration, $N_\infty=\s_kn_k$, inevitably decays with time. 
 An initially monodisperse (i.e. consisting of  monomers only)
 distribution will evolve, as time progresses, and spread covering
 larger sizes ($k\gg 1$).
 The ``direct'' approach consists in binning the initial distribution
