Scientific paper

A computer code is presented in which coagulation of interstellar dust grains is realized through the mutual interaction of N individual particles. In contrast to other growth simulations, it is not assumed that a particle always belongs to the cluster it had its first contact with. By solving the equations of motion for each particle individually, stripping of particles as well as fragmentation and compaction of the clusters can occur. Simulations were done using a Hertz-Johnson-type force. Methods for dissipation of energy are discussed.
