Impact of a Stratocumulus Scheme on Clouds and Feedbacks in MIROC7

Abstract Marine stratocumulus (Sc) clouds exert a strong cooling effect on climate by reflecting solar radiation, yet many climate models underestimate their amount and cause uncertainty in equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS). Herein, we show that incorporating a physically bas...

Visualization of droplet splashing and droplet trajectory and theoretical prediction of a droplet motion on the geothermal turbine bucket

Abstract Understanding liquid behavior on the surface of rapidly rotating turbine blades is essential for clarifying drain formation in wet-steam turbines. However, direct experimental visualization of droplet impact and subsequent liquid transport under the combined conditions o...
