Bridging the condensation–collision size gap: a direct numerical simulation of continuous droplet growth in turbulent clouds
In most previous direct numerical simulation (DNS) studies on droplet growth in turbulence, condensational growth and collisional growth were treated separately. Studies in recent decades have postulated that small-scale turbulence may accelerate droplet collisions when droplets are still small...
