We will consider a random graph model that is related to Smoluchowski's coagulation equation with limited aggregation. Typical clusters in this model look like Galton-Watson trees and this will be used to give a probabilistic interpretation of the asymptotic form of the solution to Smoluchowski's coagulation equation.
