TLDR
In this article, drop motion in a turbulent flow is studied using a model of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence, which allows us to generate different realizations of the random velocity field component with given latitudinal and lateral correlation functions and a spatial structure obeys the Kolmogorov theory.About:

Particle-turbulence interactions in atmospheric clouds
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that fine-scale turbulence is of direct importance to the evolvability of clouds, and that microscale properties of clouds are determined to a great extent by thermodynamic and fluid-mechanical interactions between droplets and the surrounding air.
Journal ArticleDOI
Notes on the state-of-the-art numerical modeling of cloud microphysics
TL;DR: The spectral (bin) microphysical approach, which does not restrict the particle size spectra to any particular shape and, therefore, claims to reproduce formation of size spectRA of cloud particles, is concerned.

Ice Particle Interarrival Times Measured with a Fast FSSP
Paul R. Field,Robert Wood,Philip R. A. Brown,Paul H. Kaye,Edwin Hirst,Richard Greenaway,J. A. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a fast forward scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP) was used to measure the interarrival times of ice particles in clouds. But, the distribution of inter-rival times is bimodal instead of the exponential distribution expected for a Poisson process.

Preferential Concentration of Cloud Droplets by Turbulence: Effects on the Early Evolution of Cumulus Cloud Droplet Spectra
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a mechanism for the broadening of cloud droplet spectra during condensational growth, based on the inherent turbulent nature of cumulus clouds, which operates independent of entrainment and can operate in adiabatic cloud cores.

Distributions of Raindrop Sizes and Fall Velocities in a Semiarid Plateau Climate: Convective versus Stratiform Rains
TL;DR: In this article, the joint size and fall velocity distributions of raindrops were measured with a Particle Size and Velocity (PARSIVEL) precipitation particle disdrometer in a field experiment conducted during July and August 2007 at a semiarid continental site located in Guyuan, Ningxia Province, China (36°N, 106°16′E).

Microphysics of Clouds and Precipitation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on one major aspect of cloud microphysics, which involves the processes that lead to the formation of individual cloud and precipitation particles, and provide an account of the major characteristics of atmospheric aerosol particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical Fluid Mechanics: The Mechanics of Turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the theory of hydrodynamic instability and the development of turbulence, the application of dimensional analysis, and the theories of similarity to turbulent flow in pipes, ducts, and boundary layers, as well as free turbulence.

The physics of clouds
F. H. Ludlam,Basil John Mason +1 more
TL;DR: In the last fifteen years there has been a surge of activity in this science under the stimulus of development in civil and military aviation as discussed by the authors, and the growth of cloud physics during this period has been fostered not only by this general invigoration, but also by recognition of the practicability of exerting some influence upon the behaviour of clouds and their capacity for producing rain, hail, lightning and other meteorological phenomena.
