Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed the Lagrangian cloud simulator (LCS), which simulates droplet growth in air turbulence. The LCS adopts the Euler-Lagrangian framework and can provide reference data for cloud microphysical models by tracking the growth of particles individually. The LCS code is highly optimized for massive parallel simulations by means of the shared- and distributed-memory parallelizations. We have performed the LCS for different particle Stokes numbers, different saturation levels and different Reynolds numbers. The results quantify the influence of the turbulent mixing of droplets on the evaporation process for the first time.
