This project provides Python-based solvers and optimizers for the Population Balance Equation (PBE).

Depending on the application, users can choose the most suitable solver to predict the evolution of particle systems.
For cases with experimental data, the optimization framework can be used to determine kernel parameters that best match experimental conditions, improving prediction accuracy.

  • See Quick Start for simple usage examples of the solvers.

  • Visit Overview to understand the overall project structure.
