Instability driven by settling and evaporation in a shear flow: a model for asperitas clouds
S. Ravichandran, Rama Govindarajan
We study, by direct numerical simulations in two and three dimensions, the instability caused by the settling and evaporation of water droplets out of a cloudy layer saturated with…
The combined effects of buoyancy, rotation, and shear on phase boundary evolution
S. Ravichandran, S. Toppaladoddi, J. S. Wettlaufer
We use well-resolved numerical simulations to study the combined effects of buoyancy, pressure-driven shear and rotation on the melt rate and morphology of a layer of pure solid ov…
Virus transmission by aerosol transport during short conversations
Rohit Singhal, S. Ravichandran, Rama Govindarajan +1
Pathogens like the SARS-CoV-2 are transmitted not only through violent expiratory events like coughing, but also through routine activities like breathing/speaking/singing. We perf…
Fluid dynamics in clouds: The sum of its parts
S. Ravichandran, Jason R. Picardo, Samriddhi Sankar Ray +1
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 r…
