Impact of aerosols and turbulence on cloud droplet growth: an in-cloud seeding case study using a parcel–DNS (direct numerical simulation) approach
<p>This paper investigates the relative importance of turbulence and aerosol effects on the broadening of the droplet size distribution (DSD) during the early stage of cloud and raindrop formation. A parcel–DNS (direct numerical simulation) hybrid approach is developed to seamlessly simulate t...
