Abstract: We consider coagulation equations of Smoluchowski or Flory type where the total merge rate has a bilinear form $pi(y)cdotApi(x)$ for a vector of conserved quantities $pi$, generalising the multiplicative kernel. For these kernels, a gelation transition occurs at a finite time $t_{m}athrmgin(0,infty)$, which can be given exactly in terms of an eigenvalue problem in finite dimensions. We prove a hydrodynamic limit for a stochastic coagulant, including a corresponding phase transition for the largest particle, and exploit a coupling to random graphs to extend analysis of the limiting process beyond the gelation time.
