AB - Dibutyl phthalate aerosol particles evolution dynamics in a turbulent mixing  layer is simulated by means of direct numerical simulation for the flow field  and the direct quadrature method of moments for the aerosol evolution. Most  particles are nucleated in a thin layer region corresponding to a specific  narrow temperature range near the cool stream side. However, particles  undergo high growth rate on the hot stream side due to condensation.  Coagulation decreases the total particle number density at a rate which is  highly correlated to the instantaneous number density.
