  Agglomeration processes occur in many different realms of science such as
colloid and aerosol formation or formation of bacterial colonies. We study the
influence of primary particle density in agglomerate structure using
diffusion-controlled Monte Carlo simulations with realistic space scales
through different regimes (DLA and DLCA). The equivalence of Monte Carlo time
steps to real time scales is given by Hirsch's hydrodynamical theory of
Brownian motion. Agglomerate behavior at different time stages of the
simulations suggests that three indices (fractal exponent, coordination number
and eccentricity index) characterize agglomerate geometry. Using these indices,
we have found that the initial density of primary particles greatly influences
the final structure of the agglomerate as observed in recent experimental
works.
