Brownian drift-diffusion model for evolution of droplet size distributions in turbulent clouds
[1] Effects from turbulence-induced fluctuations in water vapor saturation on cloud droplet growth are examined using a Brownian diffusion model. The model predicts diffusive broadening of the droplet size distribution, tempered by enhanced evaporation-induced drift of droplets to smaller size from vapor depletion, and approach to a stationary condition (Weibull distribution) determined by the ...
متن کاملDroplet Condensation and Isoperimetric Towers
We consider a variational problem in a planar convex domain, motivated by statistical mechanics of crystal growth in a saturated solution. The minimizers are constructed explicitly and are completely characterized.
متن کاملExploring different regimes in finite-size scaling of the droplet condensation-evaporation transition.
We present a finite-size scaling analysis of the droplet condensation-evaporation transition of a lattice gas (in two and three dimensions) and a Lennard-Jones gas (in three dimensions) at fixed density. Parallel multicanonical simulations allow sampling of the required system sizes with precise equilibrium estimates. In the limit of large systems, we verify the theoretical leading-order scalin...
متن کاملEffect of droplet interaction on droplet-laden turbulent channel flow
We present results of direct numerical simulation of heat transfer and droplet concentration in turbulent flow of a mixture of dry air, water vapor, and water droplets in a differentially heated channel. In particular, we study the effects of droplet collisions by comparing results of simulations with and without droplet collision model for several overall droplet volume fractions. The results ...
متن کاملTowards quantifying droplet clustering in clouds
Droplet positions in atmospheric clouds are random but possibly correlated on some scales. This ‘clustering’ must be quanti ed in order to account for it in theories of cloud evolution and radiative transfer. Tools as varied as droplet concentratio n power spectrum, Fishing test, and fractal correlation analysis have been used to describe the small-scale nature of clouds, and it has been dif ...
