ABSTRACT

Fragmentation population-balance equations (PBEs) describe how particle size distributions (PSDs) evolve under breakage and daughter fragment redistribution. From a standard self-similar fragmentation class we derive an \emph{exact conservative transport equation in log-size} for the \emph{normalized mass fraction}: a state-dependent \emph{pure-jump} master equation (nonlocal internal-coordinate mass transfer). We also give an explicit Gorini--Kossakowski--Sudarshan--Lindblad (GKSL) factorization whose diagonal sector reproduces this master equation, used here as an \emph{optional} structure-preserving operator representation and constrained parameterization for inverse modeling (rather than a computational necessity). In a controlled small-jump regime, the nonlocal jump transport reduces to a drift--diffusion (Fokker--Planck) operator in log-size space. Under detailed-balance conditions this operator admits the standard symmetrization to a self-adjoint Schrödinger-type spectral problem, enabling compact parametric hypothesis classes for PSD shapes. We then present two inverse routes: (i) time-resolved parametric fitting of transport/spectral parameters, and (ii) a regularized steady-state inversion that reconstructs an effective potential from a measured steady PSD. To address practical validation, we include numerical benchmarks: forward simulation of the jump transport model (CTMC discretization) and its drift--diffusion reduction, quantitative discrepancy metrics, and inverse parameter recovery on an Airy half-line synthetic benchmark under controlled multiplicative noise.

研究动机与目标

  • 激发对 fragmentation PBE 的兴趣,以及在对数尺度上实现守恒输运形式的必要性。
  • 推导在对数尺度上以归一化质量分数表示的严格守恒主方程。
  • 将跳跃输运与漂移-扩散极限联系起来,并探索谱形/PSD 参数化。
  • 提供用于时间分辨拟合和稳态 PSD 重构的反演建模路径。
  • 通过前向仿真和在合成基准上的反演恢复来验证方法。

提出的方法

  • 在对数尺度上建立 fragmentation PBE 的形式,并推导严格单向跳跃输运主方程(Eq. 8)。
  • 给出归一化质量分数密度 p(ξ,t) 与跳跃核 K(u),以及速率 λ(ξ)(Eq. 9–10)。
  • 给出一个可选的 GKSL/Lindblad 因式分解,用于在受约束的反演建模中再现主方程对角项(Eq. 12–13)。
  • 在小跃迁区域,得到对数尺度上的漂移-扩散(Fokker–Planck)简化(Eq. 16)。
  • 讨论基于详细平衡的谱形式和 Schrödinger 型化简,以用于 PSD 参数化(Eq. 17–20)。
  • 概述两条反演路线:时分辨的参数拟合与正则化的稳态重建(Sec. 9)。

  • 提出两种实际的反演策略:时分辨的参数拟合与正则化稳态反演,以从 PSDs 重构有效势(Sec. 9)。
  • 数值验证包括基于前向 CTMC 的跳跃输运、漂移-扩散简化,以及在乘性噪声下对一个合成的 Airy 半线基准的反演参数恢复(Sec. 10)。
