Contrail modeling and simulation

R Paoli, K Shariff - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
There is large uncertainty in the radiative forcing induced by aircraft contrails, particularly
after they transform to cirrus. It has recently become possible to simulate contrail evolution …

Accelerated decay of a Lamb–Oseen vortex tube laden with inertial particles in Eulerian–Lagrangian simulations

S Shuai, MH Kasbaoui - journal of fluid mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
We investigate the effect of inertial particles on the stability and decay of a prototypical vortex
