Abstract

The turbulent cloud-top mixing layer is studied using direct numerical simulation (DNS). This configuration models the top of stratocumulus clouds and is employed to investigate the role of latent heat effects. A partial description of the turbulent flow that develops when the cloud and the cloud-free air mix under buoyancy reversal conditions is presented in this paper.
