Hygroscopic Growth Model and Scattering Characteristics of Two-Particle Agglomerated Aerosol
Based on the single particle aerosol hygroscopic growth model, the hygroscopic growth models of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic two-particle agglomerated aerosols are established, respectively. The scattering characteristics of two types of condensation particles at different relative humidity are calculated by using the discrete dipole approximation method. The results show that in the humidity range of 40%--90%, the scattering coefficient of the hydrophilic two-particle condensed aerosol (e.g., NaCl-NaNO3) has two jumps, and the position and increase of the scattering coefficient jump are closely related to the volume ratio of NaCl-NaNO3 particles. After the second deliquescence, the scattering coefficients of hydrophilic agglomerated particles with different volume ratios show an exponential growth trend with the increase of relative humidity. The greater the volume fraction of NaNO3, the larger the increase in scattering coefficient. For hydrophilic and hydrophobic two-particle agglomerated aerosols (e.g., NaCl-Soot) with different volume ratios, the scattering coefficients show an exponential growth trend with the increase of relative humidity. The larger the NaCl volume ratio, the larger the growth rate of the scattering coefficient. But the relative position relationship between hydrophilic and hydrophobic particles after deliquescence has little effect on the scattering coefficient of agglomerated particles. The above results can provide a reliable theoretical basis for further research on the hygroscopic scattering characteristics of multi-particle aggregated aerosols.
