Effects of Collision-induced Breakup on Drop Size Distributions in Steady State Rainshafts

Published: Jan 1, 2004
Abstract
-New equations and techniques for dealing with drop breakups are developed and applied to the modelling of the evolution of raindrop spectra in rainshafts. Breakup experiments by MCTAGGARTCOWAN and LlST (1975) served as data base. No matter what the original size distribution, the spectrum evolution will always lead to a MarshallPalmer type equilibrium distribution N = No e -^z~, with A = constant and N o proportional to the rainfall rate R.
