    "abstract": "A numerical model with broad applications to complex (dusty) plasmas is\npresented. The self-consistent N-body code allows simulation of the coagulation\nof fractal aggregates, including the charge-dipole interaction of the clusters\ndue to the spatial arrangement of charge on the aggregate. It is shown that not\nonly does a population of oppositely charged particles increase the coagulation\nrate, the inclusion of the charge-dipole interaction of the aggregates as well\nas the electric dipole potential of the dust ensemble decreases the gelation\ntime by a factor of up to twenty. It is further shown that these interactions\ncan also stimulate the onset of gelation, or \"runaway growth,\" even in a\npopulation of particles charged to a monopotential where previously it was\nbelieved that like-charged grains would inhibit coagulation. Gelation is\nobserved to occur due to the formation of high-mass aggregates with fractal\ndimensions greater than two which act as seeds for runaway growth.",
