Particle-turbulence interactions in atmospheric clouds

RA Shaw - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2003 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Turbulence is ubiquitous in atmospheric clouds, which have enormous turbulence
Reynolds numbers owing to the large range of spatial scales present. Indeed, the ratio of …
