“…In this sense, the QMOM is very similar to the classic methods proposed by Kruis et al [16] and Lee [17], where the PSD is assumed to be a monodisperse or a lognormal distribution. Besides these presumed PSD methods, other approaches to the solution of the moment closure problem exist, such as modal methods and polynomial interpolative closure (for details see [18][19][20][21][22]). Thus, the QMOM has to be viewed as a competing method that presents the main advantage of being extremely accurate and amenable for coupling with with CFD codes, as will be clearer in the following sections.…”
