Efectos eléctricos en la eficiencia de colisión entre gotas: Una parametrización

Abstract

The collision efficiency of droplets by larger drops is obtained calculating trajectories of the small droplets in the perturbed flow as a function of mechanical and electrical parameters. The range of values for the charge of the drops and droplets as well as the electric field cover most of the expected values in clouds. The size of the small droplets is the dominant parameter and for large drops with radius equal or less than 100 pm the electrical variables became very important. From these results a parametrization was written in order to be used in numerical cloud models allowing to couple the electricity and the microphysical aspects.
