Evaluation of Drop Size Distribution Impact on Rainfall Interception by Trees
Proceedings, 2017 Not all precipitation, falling above the trees, reach the ground. Part of it is retained in the canopy and eventually evaporates back into the atmosphere. This is known as intercepted rainfall.

Drop size distribution in sprays by image processing
Computers & Chemical Engineering, 1990 An automatic analysis system has been developed and used to analyze photographs obtained by high-speed microphotography, the final aim being to derive spatial resolved size distributions of drops in sprays. The problem of determining whether photographic images of particles are in focus or not is solved by obtaining a calibration of geometric ...

The breakup of levitating water drops observed with a high speed camera [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 Collision-induced water drop breakup in a vertical wind tunnel was observed using a high speed camera for interactions between larger drop sizes (up to 7 mm diameter) than have previously been experimentally observed.

Effect of polyHIPE porosity on its hydrodynamic properties
Polymer Testing, 2021 Several polymerized high internal phase emulsions (polyHIPE) of various porosity but the same pore diameter were prepared. It was demonstrated that the pore size distribution of void pores and interconnecting pores is similar and it can be described by a
