THE INFLUENCE OF CORRELATION TIME OF FLUCTUATION FIELDS ON THE STOCHASTIC GROWTH OF WATER DROPLETS,
Abstract
This report discusses the effect of correlation time on the growth of cloud droplets under the influence of fluctuation fields. The results reveal that the characteristic of the fluctuation field is an important parameter. The findings of the present study show that the correlation time of the turbulent acceleration field is too short to contribute directly to the formation of raindrops. A preliminary survey indicates that the fluctuation of liquid-water content contributes greatly to the growth of 30-50 mu droplets, and accelerates the process by more than half an hour in comparison with the uniform growth of the conventional model.
