Droplet Clustering Signatures Of Entrainment In Clouds, Suryadev Pratap Singh, Michael Larsen, Jesse Anderson, Hamed F. Sadi, Jae Min Yeom, Will Cantrell, Raymond A. Shaw Aug 2026

Droplet Clustering Signatures Of Entrainment In Clouds, Suryadev Pratap Singh, Michael Larsen, Jesse Anderson, Hamed F. Sadi, Jae Min Yeom, Will Cantrell, Raymond A. Shaw

Michigan Tech Research Data

The spatial distribution of cloud droplets is relevant for various microphysical processes, such as condensational growth, collision-coalescence, riming and aggregation, and radiative transfer. Cloud droplets and other hydrometeors exhibit clustering at dissipation scales and above due to turbulence-induced preferential concentration. Here, we investigate the role of entrainment in modulating the scale-dependent clustering of cloud droplets and explore how this mechanism differs from inertial clustering. We have performed experiments in the Pi Convection-Cloud Chamber, and imaged 2-D droplet fields in the cloud-top region where dry-air entrained through an open cylindrical flange leads to an entrainment-mixing process. Captured images are processed to …

Quiet Ego And Psychological Empowerment In Virtual Knowledge Work, Jazzlin Mouton Aug 2026

Quiet Ego And Psychological Empowerment In Virtual Knowledge Work, Jazzlin Mouton

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This study is an explanatory sequential mixed methods study designed to examine whether a high quiet ego orientation predicts high psychological empowerment in knowledge workers functioning as part of a team in a virtual workspace.
