摘要
The problem of droplet growth by condensation in a turbulent flow of nearly saturated vapour is addressed theoretically and numerically. We show how the presence of an underlying turbulent velocity field induces a correlation between droplet trajectories and supersaturation. This leads both to the enhancement of the droplet growth rate and to a fast spreading of the droplet size distribution.
