Abstract

An attempt is made to obtain an estimate of the percentage of small droplets swept out of the path of a large drop. The method followed is along the lines of a similar treatment by G. I. Taylor and developed by Glaucrt for droplets approaching a cylinder and an aerofoil. Similar computations were also made by langmuir and Blodgett in U. S. A: using a differential analyser ; but neglecting the discrete sizes of small droplets. This has been taken into account in the present work.

Sets or trajectories are drawn for droplets approaching a sphere having the dimensions of a large cloud drop. Using these trajectories new values of the percentage catch have been computed in a number of cases.
