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 …

There is no agreement between the results of different studies as regards quantitative and
even qualitative evaluation of aerosol effects on precipitation. While some observational and …

Cloud microphysical processes occur at the smallest end of scales among cloud-related
processes and thus must be parameterized not only in large-scale global circulation models …

This book presents the most comprehensive and systematic description currently available
of both classical and novel theories of cloud processes, providing a much-needed link …

There have been relatively few studies of turbulent collision rate of sedimenting droplets in
the context of cloud physics, for which both the gravitational settling and inertial effects must …

The effect of turbulence on the collision rate between droplets in clouds is investigated.
Because of their inertia, water droplets can be shot out of curved streamlines of the turbulent …

We study the clustering of inertial particles in turbulent flows and discuss its applications to
dust particles in protoplanetary disks. Using numerical simulations, we compute the radial …

The most basic aspect of cloud formation is condensational growth onto cloud condensation
nuclei (CCN). As such, condensational growth of cloud drops is often assumed to be a well …

A methodology for conducting direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of hydrodynamically
interacting droplets in the context of cloud microphysics has been developed and used to …

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 …
