Abstract: A laboratory experiment has been performed to study the relative effect of aerodynamic and electrical forces an small electrically conducting particles of radii 100?200 ? colliding with a particle of 2 mm radius suspended ...

Abstract: A simple technique is described by which multiple millimeter-size water drops can be simultaneously suspended in an air stream above the test section of a 12 ? 12 cm cross section of a vertical wind tunnel. Horizontal ...
