| 4 | 2 | The LCM is based on the formulation of the LPM (Sect. [wiki:/doc/tec/lpm lagrangian particle model]). For the LCM, however, the Lagrangian particles are representing droplets and aerosols. The droplet advection and sedimentation is given by the Eqs. for d''u'',,p,i,, / d''t'' and ''τ'',,p,,^-1^ in Sect. [wiki:/doc/tec/lpm#FormulationoftheLPM formulation of the LPM] with ''ρ'',,p,0,,'' = ρ'',,l,0,,. At present it is computationally not feasible to simulate a realistic amount of particles. A single Lagrangian particle thus represents an ensemble of identical particles (i.e., same radius, velocity, mass of solute aerosol) and is referred to as "super-droplet". The number of |
