Abstract
We have numerically computed the multistate kinetics for the non‐steady‐state nucleation of water vapor onto gaseous ions for a few supersaturation ratios. The calculations include: (1) the complete time‐dependent evolution of cluster concentrations; (2) the ``currents'' which describe the rate of nearest‐neighbor transitions for cluster growth or decay; (3) the depletion of ions in the system as they are used in cluster formation and leave the system as drops; (4) an over‐all picture of how the system relaxes for various cluster sizes.
