Abstract

A vertical wind tunnel for free suspension of millimetre size water drops has been designed and constructed. It consists of a reservoir, flow straightning devices, a diffusor section and a test section. The velocity profiles in the region of suspended drops are given. Stability of the drops placed in velocity wells generated in the vertical air flow of the tunnel, is discussed. Arrangements to apply electric fields and to take photographs of the suspended drops are described. Some possible uses of this tunnel are discussed.
