Sling Effect in Collisions of Water Droplets in Turbulent Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of turbulence on the collision rate between droplets in clouds is investigated. Because of their inertia, water droplets can be shot out of curved streamlines of the turbulent airflow. The contribution of such ...
Rain Initiation Time in Turbulent Warm Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mean field model is presented that describes droplet growth resulting from condensation and collisions and droplet loss resulting from fallout. The model allows for an effective numerical simulation. The numerical scheme ...
