Numerical simulation of diffusion-controlled droplet growth: Dynamical correlation effects.
نویسنده
چکیده
Diffusion-controlled coarsening (Ostwald ripening) of precipitated Solutions is studied by numerical Simulation. An algorithm is devised which exploits the screening of solute concentration fields, thereby removing the restriction to small Systems of previous work. Simulation of the coarsening of 5000 droplets at 10% volume fraction reveals long-ranged dynamical correlations which broaden the droplet size-distribution function and increase the coarsening-rate coefficient.

متن کاملEffect of Cloud Condensation Nuclei on the Optical Properties of a Layer Cloud: Numerical Simulation with a Cloud-Microphysical Model
The influence of aerosols on the atmospheric radiative budget, as seen in the effect of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) on the optical properties of clouds, for example, is one of the key issues in understanding and predicting global climate change. To study quantitatively the effect of CCN on the optical properties of low-level layer clouds, we developed a cloud microphysical adiabatic parcel ...

In this paper, the turbulent air droplet flow inside a single passage of a curved type vane separator has been studied numerically. The simulation is based on the Eulerian - Lagrangian method. For turbulent air flow calculations, a computer code was developed to solve the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations together with the equations of Reynolds Stress Transport Model (RSTM) o...
