| Abstract | We investigate the Smoluchowski equation for the coagulation process of a system of aerosol particles. The objective is the influence of random perturbations in the presence of a source and a sink. To this aim, a Monte Carlo process is constructed and it is shown that fluctuations have a destabilizing effect: Particle systems are forced to gelate i.e. to form "macroparticles" of infinite mass.
