Fluid dynamics in clouds: The sum of its parts
arXiv:2102.10401 · doi:10.1007/978-3-642-27737-5_741-1
Abstract
This entry is aimed at describing cloud physics with an emphasis on fluid dynamics. As is inevitable for a review of an enormously complicated problem, it is highly selective and reflects of the authors' focus. The range of scales involved, and the relevant physics at each scale is described. Particular attention is given to droplet dynamics and growth, and turbulence with and without thermodynamics.
