Direct Numerical Simulation of Water Droplets in Turbulent Flow

Direct Numerical Simulation of Water Droplets in Turbulent Flow

Details on the fall speeds of raindrops are essential in both applications and natural events, such as rain-rate retrieval and soil erosion. Here, we examine the influence of turbulence on the terminal velocity of two water drops of different sizes. For the first time, computations of droplets in tu...
