Menon¹, R.L. Pego² ¹ Division of Applied Mathematics, Brown University, USA ² Depat. of Mathematical Sciences, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Smoluchowski's coagulation equations are a fundamental mean-field model of coalescence describing for example, the formation of clouds, and the kinetics of polymerization. An issue of importance is `dynamic scaling' or the approach to self-similarity. I will describe some interesting mathematical features of this non-equilibrium system related to the dynamic scaling hypothesis. © IWNET 2006
