# University of Warsaw Lagrangian Cloud Model

UWLCM is a tool for numerical modeling of clouds using LES model of turbulence and Lagrangian cloud microphysics.

Papers describing the model:

https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/12/2587/2019/

https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/15/4489/2022/

Key features:

 - MPDATA algorithm for advection

 - Superdroplet or bulk microphysics

 - SGS turbulence modeled with Smagorinsky scheme or implicit LES

 - models for SGS motion, condensation and coalescence of superdroplets

 - 2D or 3D simulations

 - superdroplet microphysics can be calculated using GPUs

UWLCM is implemented using the libmpdata++ advection library and libcloudph++ microphysics library.
