Growth of cloud droplets in a turbulent environment

WW Grabowski, LP Wang - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2013 - annualreviews.org
Motivated by the need to resolve the condensation-coalescence bottleneck in warm rain
formation, a significant number of studies have emerged in the past 15 years concerning the …

Droplet growth in warm turbulent clouds

BJ Devenish, P Bartello, JL Brenguier… - Quarterly Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
In this survey we consider the impact of turbulence on cloud formation from the cloud scale
to the droplet scale. We assess progress in understanding the effect of turbulence on the …

Experimental study of inertial particles clustering and settling in homogeneous turbulence

AJ Petersen, L Baker, F Coletti - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2019 - cambridge.org
We study experimentally the spatial distribution, settling and interaction of sub-Kolmogorov
inertial particles with homogeneous turbulence. Utilizing a zero-mean-flow air turbulence …

Settling regimes of inertial particles in isotropic turbulence

GH Good, PJ Ireland, GP Bewley… - Journal of Fluid …, 2014 - cambridge.org
We investigate the settling speeds and root mean square (rms) velocities of inertial particles
in isotropic turbulence with gravity using experiments with water droplets in air turbulence …

Statistical models for spatial patterns of heavy particles in turbulence

K Gustavsson, B Mehlig - Advances in Physics, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
The dynamics of heavy particles suspended in turbulent flows is of fundamental importance

The effect of Reynolds number on inertial particle dynamics in isotropic turbulence. Part 2. Simulations with gravitational effects

PJ Ireland, AD Bragg, LR Collins - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016 - cambridge.org
In Part 1 of this study (Ireland et al., J. Fluid Mech., vol. 796, 2016, pp. 617–658), we
analysed the motion of inertial particles in isotropic turbulence in the absence of gravity …

Coherent clusters of inertial particles in homogeneous turbulence

L Baker, A Frankel, A Mani, F Coletti - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - cambridge.org
Despite the widely acknowledged significance of turbulence-driven clustering, a clear
topological definition of particle cluster in turbulent dispersed multiphase flows has been …

Settling and clustering of snow particles in atmospheric turbulence

C Li, K Lim, T Berk, A Abraham, M Heisel… - Journal of Fluid …, 2021 - cambridge.org
The effect of turbulence on snow precipitation is not incorporated into present weather
forecasting models. Here we show evidence that turbulence is in fact a key influence on both …

Settling velocity and preferential concentration of heavy particles under two-way coupling effects in homogeneous turbulence

R Monchaux, A Dejoan - Physical Review Fluids, 2017 - APS
The settling velocity of inertial particles falling in homogeneous turbulence is investigated by
making use of direct numerical simulation (DNS) at moderate Reynolds number that include …

Clustering of particles falling in a turbulent flow

K Gustavsson, S Vajedi, B Mehlig - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
Spatial clustering of identical particles falling through a turbulent flow enhances the collision
rate between the falling particles, an important problem in aerosol science. We analyze this …
