Many particulate systems occurring in nature and technology are adequately described by a number density function (NDF). The numerical solution of the corresponding population balance equation (PBE) is typically accompanied by high computational costs. Quadrature-based moment methods are an approach to reduce the computational complexity by solving only for a set of moments associated with the NDF employing Gaussian quadrature rules to close the moment equations derived from the PBE. The evolution of a population of inertial particles dispersed in a turbulent fluid is governed by a PBE with a phase-space diffusion term as a result of random microscale fluctuations. Considerations on the microscopic behavior concerning the momentum exchange between fluid and dispersed particles suggest that this diffusion term is nonlinear and nonsmooth. The resulting integral terms in the derived moment equations entail large approximation errors when using Gaussian quadrature rules for closure. In this work, we propose a modification of the quadrature method of moments (QMOM), namely the Gauss/anti-Gauss-QMOM (GaG-QMOM), making use of anti-Gaussian quadrature formulae to reduce the large errors due to this particular form of diffusion. This new method is investigated in a series of simple one-dimensional test cases with analytical reference solutions. Moreover, we propose a realizability-preserving variation of the strong-stability preserving Runge-Kutta (RKSSP) schemes that is suited to problems involving phase-space diffusion. Besides the observation that the modified second-order RKSSP scheme can serve as a realizability-preserving alternative to the standard RKSSP scheme of the same order, the numerical results reveal that, compared to the standard QMOM, the GaG-QMOM can reduce the large errors by one to two orders of magnitude. • Modeling turbulence in generalized PBEs may involve nonlinear phase-space diffusion. • Nonlinear/nonsmooth terms in moment equations are particularly challenging for QBMMs. • Gauss/anti-Gauss QMOM can significantly improve approximation of nonsmooth terms. • The suggested modified RKSSP scheme can ensure moment realizability unconditionally.
