LES of a cumulus cloud with explicit Lagrangian droplets
Responsible: In-Soo Kang
Project type: PhD project at the ​Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Yonsei University, Seoul, Yign Noh
Duration: 01/03/2005 -2007

An LES model of a cumulus cloud is developed in which the motion of a large number of water droplets is explicitly simulated. The model provides various important information of the cloud process such as entrainment and internal mixing, the distribution of droplets within a cloud, and the evolution of particle size spectrum. A substantial part of this Korean PhD project is carried out visiting the PALM group in Hannover.
