Scaling the drop size in coflow experiments

Mean Drop Size and Drop Size Distribution in a Hanson Mixer-Settler Extraction Column

Size matters: Origin of binomial scaling in nuclear fragmentation experiments

The relationship between measured transverse energy, total charge recovered in the detector, and size of the emitting system is investigated. Using only very simple assumptions, we are able to reproduce the observed binomial emission probabilities and their dependences on the transverse energy. Our results show that the observed scaling can arise due to a combination of finite-size effects and ...

Prediction of Mean Drop Size in Pulsed Packed Extraction Columns

Microfluidic flow focusing: drop size and scaling in pressure versus flow-rate-driven pumping.

We experimentally study the production of micrometer-sized droplets using microfluidic technology and a flow-focusing geometry. Two distinct methods of flow control are compared: (i) control of the flow rates of the two phases and (ii) control of the inlet pressures of the two phases. In each type of experiment, the drop size l, velocity U and production frequency f are measured and compared as...

Small-Scale Drop-Size Variability: Empirical Models for Drop-Size-Dependent Clustering in Clouds

By analyzing aircraft measurements of individual drop sizes in clouds, it has been shown in a companion paper that the probability of finding a drop of radius r at a linear scale l decreases as l, where 0 D(r) 1. This paper shows striking examples of the spatial distribution of large cloud drops using models that simulate the observed power laws. In contrast to currently used models that assume...
