The particle-based (Lagrangian) microphysics models contrast the c onventional Eulerian approach of representing aerosol\, cloud and precipit ation particle populations as separate categories of trace constituents mo delled with continuous density fields. Among the key advantages of the par ticle-based methods there are: lack of numerical diffusion in physical and size-spectral dimensions\; by-design non-negativity of the derived densit y fields\; ab-initio-like representation of particle-level processes\; sui tability of Monte-Carlo methods for solving particle coagulation\; robustn ess to spatial resolution changes of the CFD solver\; and favourable GPU-p arallelization characteristics. The talk will aim at giving an overview of the past decade of developments\, at highlighting the novel results obtai ned with particle-based models\, and at bringing attention to some remaini ng challenges and opportunities.\n\n \n\nTuesday Oct 08/ 10:00 AM/ Burnsid e Hall/ Room 934\n DTSTART:20191008T140000Z DTEND:20191008T153000Z LOCATION:Room 934 SUMMARY:Particle-based cloud microphysics: rationale\, state of the art and challenges URL:/meteo/channels/event/particle-based-cloud-microph ysics-rationale-state-art-and-challenges-300322 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
