Journal ArticleDOI
Settling velocity and concentration distribution of heavy particles in homogeneous isotropic turbulence
Lian-Ping Wang,Martin R. Maxey +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the average settling velocity in homogeneous turbulence of a small rigid spherical particle, subject to a Stokes drag force, has been shown to differ from that in still fluid owing to a bias from the particle inertia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth of Cloud Droplets in a Turbulent Environment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that small-scale turbulence alone does not produce a significant broadening of the cloud-droplet spectrum because of the smearing of droplet-scale fluctuations by rapid turbulent and gravitational mixing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical mechanical description and modelling of turbulent collision of inertial particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the collision rate of monodisperse solid particles in a turbulent gas is governed by a wide range of scales of motion in the flow and the accumulation effect is most noticeable when the particle inertial response time τp is of the order of the flow integral timescale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Droplet growth in warm turbulent clouds
B. J. Devenish,Peter Bartello,Jean-Louis Brenguier,Lance R. Collins,Wojciech W. Grabowski,R. H. A. IJzermans,Szymon P. Malinowski,M. W. Reeks,John Christos Vassilicos,Lian-Ping Wang,Zellman Warhaft +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess progress in understanding the effect of turbulence on the condensational and collisional growth of droplets and the effects of entrainment and mixing on the droplet spectrum, concluding that it is those studies which include such fundamental characteristics of clouds as droplet sedimentation and latent heating that are most relevant to clouds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examination of hypotheses in the Kolmogorov refined turbulence theory through high-resolution simulations. Part 1. Velocity field
TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental hypotheses underlying Kolmogorov-Oboukhov (1962) turbulence theory were examined directly and quantitutivezy by using high-resolution numerical turbulence fields.
