| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cloud microphysical simulator has been developed which computes growth of cloud droplets to rain drops udner the action of condensation, collision and turbulent mixing from the view point of the first principle. Evolution of cloud droplets and turbulence inside a parcel which is convected by the updraft has succesfully been computed for 20 minutes. Growth of mean droplet radius and expansion of the droplet spectrum are analized. The scaling exponents of the moments of passive scalar fluctuations in turbulence have been exmained by the large scale computation. It is found that the scaling exponents are not universal but those of the normalized moments are universal. Spectrum of the scalar fluctuations at very high Schmidt number such as aerosols which are essential to nucleation of cloud droplets has been examined. The spectrum is found to agree with the theoretical prediction and the effects of the velocity intermittency on the spectrum in the far diffusive range is also studied.
