A New Look into the Treatment of Small-Scale Drop Variability in Radiative Transfer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Drop size and drop spatial distribution determine photon-cloud interaction. The classical approach assumes that the number of drops of a given radius is proportional to volume with a drop-size-dependent coefficient of proportionality, the drop concentration, which is a volume-independent function of the spatial point. This assumption underlies the derivation of the drop size density distribution function, from which one can derive the extinction coefficient and scattering phase function, which are in turn input to the classical radiative transfer equation.

Computational Study of Radiative and Convective Heat Transfer in a Cylindrical Combustion Chamber
In this paper, the effect of cold air on the fluid flow inside the cylindrical combustion chamber and its wall temperature distribution have been studied computationally, taking into account the effect of radiative heat transfer from hot gases. The results have been compared with the case that radiative heat transfer was neglected. It is observed that the reattachment length increases when incr...
متن کاملSmall-Scale Drop-Size Variability: Empirical Models for Drop-Size-Dependent Clustering in Clouds
By analyzing aircraft measurements of individual drop sizes in clouds, it has been shown in a companion paper that the probability of finding a drop of radius r at a linear scale l decreases as l, where 0 D(r) 1. This paper shows striking examples of the spatial distribution of large cloud drops using models that simulate the observed power laws. In contrast to currently used models that assume...
