Abstract
If flow effects are disregarded the evaporation of clouds constitutes a problem of heat conductivity and diffusion, whereby the droplets can be considered as heat sinks and water vapor sources. After derivation of the basic equations a numerical solution procedure is presented together with an example.
Translated by A. Kaser from K. Oswatitsch, „Die Verdunstungsgeschwindigkeit von Wolken“, Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik (ZAMM), 24 (1944), 257–263.
