Description
Responses of a droplet ensemble during initial entrainment and
subsequent mixing of cloudy and clear air at the edge of a cloud
are studied by 3d DNS which combine the Eulerian description of
the turbulent velocity, temperature and vapor content fields with
a Lagrangian ensemble of cloud water droplets. We discuss their
size distribution, the supersaturation and the mixing properties.
Furthermore we give an outlook of how these data might be
matched to large eddy simulation which cover a whole cloud or
clusters of clouds.
