| description 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 74.3 µm while the collected drops had radii between 1 and 66 µm. The external electric fields considered ranged between 0 and 3429 V cm?1 (=3.429?105V m?1 and the electric charge on the cloud drops ranged between 0 and 1.1?10?4 (=3.7?10?14 C). The results demonstrate that the presence of electric charges and fields of magnitudes observed during thunderstorm and pre-thunderstorm conditions drastically enhance the collision efficiency of cloud drops. The enhancement was found to he most pronounced for the smallest collector drops studied. | |
