Polydisperse collision kernels in droplet-laden turbulence with implications for rain formation
L. A. Codispoti, Daniel W. Meyer, Patrick Jenny
The collision kernel of droplets in warm clouds is a crucially important quantity for the parameterization of precipitation in weather and climate models. Nevertheless, its accurat…

The influence of energy-containing scales on the distribution of spectral energy transfers
Arthur Couteau, Panayotis Dimopoulos Eggenschwiler, Patrick Jenny
We present computations of individual mode-to-mode energy transfers from direct numerical simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Unlike previous approaches based on shell…

Dissecting inertial clustering and sling dynamics in high-Reynolds number particle-laden turbulence
Lukas A. Codispoti, Daniel W. Meyer, Patrick Jenny
In this work, we aim to deepen the understanding of inertial clustering and the role of sling events in high-Reynolds number () particle-laden turbulence. To this end, we perfo…
