Abstract	We have been performing numerical simulations of collisions between dust aggregates consisting of equal-sized particles. Particles in protoplanetary disks are, however, expected to have a size distribution. In this study we carry out numerical simulations of collisions between dust aggregates consisting of particles with a size distribution to evaluate the influence of the size distribution on the dust growth process. A preliminary result will be shown and discussed.
