Spatially inhomogeneous phase change, and its effect on cloud turbulence
We ask whether cloud turbulence differs from typical fluid turbulence, and answer in the affirmative: small-scale turbulence is significantly enhanced in clouds by inertial droplets. This enhancement stems from a mismatch in time scales between vortex
