CFD simulation of updrafts initiated by a vertically directed jet fed by the heat of water vapor condensation.

This paper presents the results of the development of a mathematical model and numerical simulation of the ascent in the atmosphere of a vertically directed jet fed by the heat of condensation of water vapor on a hygroscopic aerosol introduced into the jet at the start. The possibility of creating artificial convective clouds depending on jet parameters, condensation heat value and vertical profiles of wind speed, air temperature and humidity has been evaluated. Numerical experiments showed that the motion of a high-speed and high-temperature jet in the atmosphere has a complex turbulent nature.
