Abstract

A new time scale for turbulence modulation by particles is introduced. This time scale is inversely proportional to the number density and the radius of particles, and can be regarded as a counterpart of the phase relaxation time, an important time scale in cloud physics, which characterizes the interaction between turbulence and cloud droplets by condensation–evaporation. Scaling analysis and direct numerical simulations of dilute inertial particles in homogeneous isotropic turbulence suggest that turbulence modulation by particles with a fixed mass-loading parameter can be expressed as a function of the Damköhler number, which is defined as the ratio of the turbulence large-eddy turnover time to the new time scale.
