Collision efficiency of droplets across diffusive, electrostatic and inertial regimes
Florian Poydenot, Bruno Andreotti
Rain drops form in clouds by collision of submillimetric droplets falling under gravity: larger drops fall faster than smaller ones and collect them on their path. The puzzling sta…
