Enhanced droplet collision rates and impact velocities in turbulent flows: The effect of poly-dispersity and transient phases

We compare the collision rates and the typical collisional velocities amongst droplets of different sizes in a poly-disperse suspension advected by two- and three-dimensional turbulent flows. We show that the collision rate is enhanced in the transient phase for droplets for which the size-ratios be...
