Collision Efficiency of Nearly Equal Cloud Drops
نویسنده
چکیده
Recomputation of the collision efficiency of nearly equal water drops falling in air gave values which increase as the size ratio approaches uiiity for radii of the bigger drop larger than 6 3 p, and decreased as though tending toward zero for smaller radii. For the bigger radii the new computcd values are consistent with experimental results, but for radii around 40 ,U they are not.

متن کاملGeometry effects on the interaction of two equal-sized drops in simple shear flow at finite Reynolds numbers
The effect of geometry on the interaction of two equal-sized drops in shear flow is presented. The full Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a finite difference/front tracking method. The interaction of drops was studied at finite Reynolds numbers for viscosity ratio (λ) of one. The distance between drop centres along the velocity gradient direction (z) was measured as a function of time. The ...
متن کاملSYMPOSIUM Mosquitoes Actively Remove Drops Deposited by Fog and Dew
Synopsis We report mosquito behaviors for removing accumulated drops of water which would otherwise increase the energy expended during takeoff and free flight. These techniques take advantage of the insect’s small size and great structural strength. To dry their wings before takeoff, mosquitoes employ a flutter stroke, at double the wingbeat frequency of normal flight, generating nearly 2500 g...
متن کاملHead-on collision of drops—A numerical investigation
The head-on collision of equal sized drops is studied by full numerical simulations. The Navier– Stokes equations are solved for the fluid motion both inside and outside the drops using a front tracking/finite difference technique. The drops are accelerated toward each other by a body force that is turned off before the drops collide. When the drops collide, the fluid between them is pushed out...
متن کاملParametric Study of Fuel Vapor Concentration Distribution Due to Vaporization of Fuel Droplets in Free Atmosphere
The growth of a two-phase cloud of a liquid fuel in a stagnant atmosphere is studied using computational fluid dynamic techniques. In order to predict the danger and hazard of such cloud in open atmosphere it is very important to determine the fuel concentration in the cloud, especially in the far field region from the fuel reservoir. The results show that with omission of droplets break up...
