Calculation of the Terminal Velocity of Water Drops,
Abstract
Three mathematical expressions for terminal velocity of water drops in still air as a function of equivalent radium are compared with the experimental data of Gunn and Kinzer. Two of them, drived by curve-fitting techniques, give excellent results over the full range of meteorological interest, including the Stokes's Law regime. A formula to correct for non-standard pressure and temperature is given, and its results are compared with the experimental data of Beard and Pruppacher. (Author)
