Cloud Particles Evolution Algorithm

Algorithm 1

Evolutionary algorithm of the cloud gaseous state.

(1)   if State == 0 then

(2)    Calculate the evolution potential of cloud particles according to (5)

(3)    Calculate the phase transformation driving force according to (6)

(4)    if PT ≤ δ then

(5)     % Phase Transformation from gaseous to liquid

(6)     

(7)     Childnum = Childnum × 2

(8)     Select the nucleus of each sub-population

(9)     

(10)   State = 1

(11)  else

(12)   % Condensation Operation

(13)   for :

(14)    Update for each sub-population according to (7)

(15)    Update for each sub-population according to (8)

(16)   endfor

(17)  endif

(18) endif

   State = 0: Cloud Gaseous Phase, State = 1: Cloud Liquid Phase, State = 2: Cloud Solid Phase
