[ascl:2603.020] growpacity: A computationally efficient dust opacity model suitable for coagulation models
growpacity computes mean opacities for dust populations with arbitrary composition, maximum grain size amax, and size distribution power-law index q. It uses optool (ascl:2104.010) to compute frequency-dependent absorption and scattering coefficients over a configurable parameter grid, which are averaged into Rosseland and Planck mean opacities as functions of amax, q, and temperature. The results are stored in lightweight tables that can be efficiently interpolated via provided C and Python interfaces, enabling use in high-performance radiation hydrodynamics and dust evolution simulations with dynamically varying grain size distributions.
