Abstract: Flocculation is the process whereby particles (i.e., flocs) in suspension reversibly combine and separate. The process is widespread in soft matter and aerosol physics as well as environmental science and engineering. We consider a general size-structured flocculation model, which describes the evolution of flocs in an aqueous environment. Our work provides a unified treatment for many size-structured models in the environmental, industrial, medical, and marine engineering literature. In particular, our model accounts for basic biological phenomena in a population of microorganisms including growth, death, sedimentation, predation, renewal, fragmentation and aggregation. Our central goal in this paper is to rigorously investigate the long-term behavior of this generalized flocculation model. Using results from fixed point theory we derive conditions for the existence of continuous, non-trivial stationary solutions. We further apply the principle of linearized stability and semigroup compactness arguments to provide sufficient conditions for local exponential stability of stationary solutions as well as sufficient conditions for instability. Abstract. The end results of this analytical development are relatively simple inequality-criteria which thus allows for the rapid evaluation of the existence and stability of a non-trivial stationary solution. To our knowledge, this work is the first to derive precise existence and stability criteria for such a generalized model. Lastly, we also provide an illustrating application of this criteria to several flocculation models.
