Abstract: A one-dimensional model of the effect of the vertical component of atmospheric turbulent fluctuations on the collection of micron-size aerosol particles by cloud drops is presented. The model includes simultaneous effects ...

Abstract: Numerical calculations were carried out to determine collision efficiencies for small raindrops with micron size particles based on a numerical description of the axisymmetric steady-state flow about a rigid sphere for ...

Abstract: Numerical computations were carried out to determine the efficiency with which electrically charged cloud drops and small raindrops of diameters ranging from 84 to 866 µm collide with electrically charged particles of ...

Abstract: A theoretical model to compute the efficiency with which aerosol particles of radius 0.5≤r≤10 ?m collide with water drops of radius a=42, 72, 106, 173, 309 and 438 ?m falling at terminal velocity in air is presented. ...

Abstract: A theoretical model is described which determines the efficiency E with which aerosol particles of radius r are collected by water drops of radius a due to the combined action of Brownian diffusion, thermo- and diffusiophoresis ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic interaction between electrically charged cloud drops in the presence of vertical external electric fields was numerically investigated for 800 mb and +10°C. The collector drops had radii between 11.4 and ...

Abstract: The numerical model of Schlamp et al. (1976) for determining the collision efficiency of electrically charged or unchanged cloud drops in the presence or absence of a vertical electric field has been extended to study the ...
