Description
In the project TP-B1 investigations of droplet behavior in supercooled clouds are conducted. This means that ambient temperatures in clouds are below the freezing point of water. The droplets in these clouds can still be liquid and supercooled despite the low temperatures. Furthermore, frozen droplets and ice crystals can already be found. Emphasis is put on the interaction of liquid droplets and frozen drops as well as ice crystals. Evaporation, sublimation and freezing processes play a key role for the development of clouds and thus for the weather. These processes are also influenced by strong electric fields occurring in thunderclouds.
Against this background basic experiments and direct numerical simulations (DNS) are conducted in subproject TP-B1. The experimental studies are run with single drops in an observation chamber. The drops are optically levitated or fall down along a vertical laser beam. With the help of scattered laser light evaporation and sublimation of supercooled droplets is investigated. Studies on homogeneous and heterogeneous freezing of droplets complete the investigations of the drop dynamic processes. Ambient conditions, such as temperature, humidity and electric field can be varied.
For numerical simulations the in-house code FS3D is used. With this software package Direct Numerical Simulations of processes with single drops or very small groups of drops are conducted. For this, extension of the program is required. In this subproject all further developments of the FS3D code are coordinated, supervised and implemented. In addition to the simulation of supercooled drops of TP-B1 and TP-C3 the developments are: the transition to the compressible flow regime in cooperation with TP-A2 and TP-A3, the consideration of electromagnetic fields in cooperation with TP-A5 and studies of the three phase contact line with TP-C1. Thus FS3D is the major calculation software of the SFB-TRR 75.
The experiments and direct numerical simulations of TP-B1 promote on the one hand, the physical understanding of droplet dynamics. On the other hand they enable the development of models that are implemented in other software packages of the SFB-TRR 75, such as OpenFOAM. With OpenFOAM it is finally possible to describe complete systems.
