Constants

Droplets.Constants — Type
Constants{FT<:AbstractFloat}

A struct representing constants used in the Droplets package.

Fields

  • FT: The type of the constants, which must be a subtype of AbstractFloat.

  • k: thermal conductivity (default: 0.024).

  • μ: dynamic viscosity (default: 1.6e-5).

  • Dv: diffusion coefficient of water vapor in air (default: 2.26e-5).

  • ρl: density of liquid water (default: 1000.0).

  • Rd: gas constant for dry air (default: 287.0).

  • Rv: gas constant for water vapor (default: 461.0).

  • gconst: gravitational constant (default: 9.8).

  • L: latent heat of vaporization (default: 22.6e5).

  • Cp: specific heat of dry air at constant pressure (default: 4181).

  • σSB: Stefan-Boltzmann constant (default: 5.670374419e-8).

  • T0: reference temperature (default: 273.15).

  • P0: reference pressure (default: 100000.0).

  • P_SLP: standard sea level pressure (default: 101325.0).

  • ϵ: molar mass ratio of water vapor to dry air (default: 0.622).

  • Ω: Earth's rotation rate in radians per second (default: 7.2921150e-5).

  • dry_theta_convention: boolean indicating whether to use dry partial pressure convention for potential temperature (default: false), build for prescribed KiD thermo.
