Dropwise chains as the elements of water fog spatial structure

Video images of water fog drops were acquired under standard atmospheric conditions with weak turbulence of the environment. Pair correlation functions of the drops were performed and traces of the spatial arrangement of the drops inside the fog determined. The fog structure carriers are the drop ch...

Description
Summary:Video images of water fog drops were acquired under standard atmospheric conditions with weak turbulence of the environment. Pair correlation functions of the drops were performed and traces of the spatial arrangement of the drops inside the fog determined. The fog structure carriers are the drop chains with a fixed interdroplet distance. The possible influence of the drop chains on the shear viscosity and fog surface tension has been analysed. •Video images of water fog drops were acquired.•Traces of the spatial arrangement of the drops inside the fog determined.•The fog structure carriers are the dropwise chains with a fixed interdroplet distance.•The influence of the drop chains on the fog shear viscosity has been analysed.
