Adaptive method of lines for multi-component aerosol condensational growth and CCN activation [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2011
The process of formation of cloud droplets on an ensemble of aerosol particles is modelled by numerous investigators using the method of lines (MOL). The method involves discretisation of the aerosol size spectrum into bins whose positions evolve with ...

Drift Potential Characteristics of a Flat Fan Nozzle: A Numerical and Experimental Study

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
This study explores the drift potential characteristics of a flat fan nozzle. The atomization and drift characteristics of fan-shaped pressure nozzles were studied at a spraying height of 0.6 m and a lateral wind speed of 0–6 m/s through a combination of

Impact of high- and low-vorticity turbulence on cloud–environment mixing and cloud microphysics processes [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021
Turbulent mixing of dry air affects the evolution of the cloud droplet size spectrum via various mechanisms. In a turbulent cloud, high- and low-vorticity regions coexist, and inertial clustering of cloud droplets can occur in low-vorticity regions.

USE OF ULTRA COARSE DROPLETS AT DIFFERENT SPRAY VOLUMES TO CONTROL WEEDS WITH DICAMBA AND GLYPHOSATE HERBICIDES

open access: yesEngenharia Agrícola, 2022
The use of ultra-coarse droplets for herbicide application reduces the risk of drift but may compromise the coverage and efficacy of the treatment. The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of ultra-coarse droplets, in different spray volumes ...

Toward an Understanding of the Indirect Climatic Effect of Aerosols [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This thesis is motivated by the need to improve our understanding of the aerosol indirect effect. The activation of aerosol into cloud droplets has been extensively studied, using a comprehensive numerical cloud droplet activation model. Using this model,

Analysis of Volume Distribution and Evaluation of the Spraying Spectrum in Terms of Spraying Quality

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Assessment of the quality of the operation of agricultural nozzles on the basis of transverse volume distribution and spatial methods of analysis for stream spraying spectra is insufficient, and positive result do not guarantee that the intended and ...

Spectrum of spray droplets with different nozzles and adjuvants

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciências Agrárias - Brazilian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Successful application of agrochemicals depends on factors such as the droplet size, nozzle type and solution composition. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the spectrum of spray droplets with different spray nozzles by means of direct measurement.

Droplet spectrum characteristics and drift potential of different droplet classes and spray volumes application of atrazine with nicosulfuron

open access: yesCiência Rural, 2023
ABSTRACT: In this research, the Volumetric Median Diameters (VMDs), Relative Span (RS), percentage of droplets with a diameter smaller than 100 µm (V100), and percentage ofdrift (% drift) of four droplet classes (Fine, Medium, Coarse, and Very Coarse) were analyzedin two spray volumes (77 L.ha-1and 144 L.ha-1) employinga tank-mix of atrazine and ...

Computational Modeling Studies of Fundamental Aerosol-Cloud Interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Basic questions regarding the interaction between changes in human activity and the atmosphere remain unanswered. Among these, the link between aerosol particles and cloud formation and development, especially in an altered climate, is a large point of ...
