The MAFOR (Multicomponent Aerosol FORmation) model is a Lagrangian type sectional aerosol box model which includes gas phase and aqueous phase chemistry in addition to aerosol dynamics. MAFOR consistently solves the time evolution of the particle number and mass concentration distribution of a multicomponent aerosol using the fixed sectional method and simultaneously the time-dependent concentrations of chemical compounds in the gas phase and also in the aqueous phase of supermicron droplets.

Release of the source code of the model as open source under the GNU General Public License (GPL) . Release version 1.9.5 is the last release on sourceforge. From version 2.0 onwards, MAFOR becomes a community model for aerosol dynamics.

The software is a console application with no GUI at the moment. The main intention of distributing the MAFOR model is the usage for educational purposes. We are looking for interested developers who want to contribute to the further development of MAFOR.

Features

  • gas phase chemistry and particle formation in environmental chambers
  • ultrafine exhaust particles emitted by traffic
  • new particle formation over the Arctic Ocean
  • aqueous phase chemistry of amines in fog/cloud
