Condensational and Collisional Growth of Cloud Droplets in a Turbulent Environment
Condensational and Collisional Growth of Cloud Droplets in a Turbulent Environment
We investigate the effect of turbulence on the combined condensational and collisional growth of cloud droplets by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations of turbulence and a superparticle approximation for droplet dynamics and collisions. The droplets are subject to turbulence as well as gravity, and their collision and coalescence …
