Cloud Microphysics Investigations with the Cloudkite Laboratory
(2023-04-14)Clouds are crucial to the Earth’s radiation budget and energy balance. Inadequately resolved cloud processes are a major source of uncertainty in weather forecasts and climate prediction. Due to their turbulent nature, ... -
Experimental Investigation of Micrometric Droplets and Artificial Particles
(2022-04-28)Clouds and atmospheric particles (e.g. ice crystals, smoke, dust or pollen) heavily influence Earth's energy budget and contribute to the largest uncertainties in climate prediction models. Their treatment involves a huge ... -
Measurements of Turbulence at High Reynolds Numbers
(2021-03-18)The effective description and fundamental understanding of turbulent flows remains elusive to modern physics despite centuries of research and its great importance in numerous fields. The theoretical difficulties of the ... -
Moist Rayleigh Benard Convection
(2018-10-19)Clouds play an important yet poorly understood role in weather forecasting and climate change. The objective in the present work is to establish a laboratory-scale experiment for simulating clouds in the Earth's atmosphere. ... -
Dynamics of Suspended Dust Grains: Experimental Investigations and Implications for Protoplanetary Discs
(2018-05-29)The collective interaction of solid particulate matter with flowing gas is one of the fundamental processes occurring in planet-forming discs. Small dust grains and pebbles are comparable to or smaller than the mean ... -
Time-Symmetry Breaking in Turbulent Multi-Particle Dispersion
(2014-10-02)In fluid dynamics, the term turbulence usually describes a special state of a continuous medium in which many interacting degrees of freedom are excited. Turbulent flows therefore exhibit strong temporal and spatial ... -
Oscillatory Dynamics of the Actin Cytoskeleton
(2013-10-01)The actin cytoskeleton is ubiquitously distributed among eukaryotic organisms and determines the shape and the movement of eukaryotic cells. In single migratory cells, rapid and localized actin polymerization often follows ... -
Directional sensing and chemotaxis in eukaryotic cells - a quantitative study
(2011-09-22)We investigate the mechanisms behind eukaryotic chemotaxis using the model organism Dictyostelium discoideum. We propose a theoretical model of directional sensing based on a local ... -
Pattern Formation in Spatially Forced Thermal Convection
(2010-02-04)In this work experimental results on forced thermal convection are presented. Experiments were done in a large aspect ratio cell slightly above the critical temperature difference at which ...
