	Fiber Supported Droplet Combustion Investigation-2 (FSDC-2)
		Methanol-dodecanol droplet mixtures experienced staged combustion in which the methanol predominately burned first and became largely depleted in a surface layer of the liquid; then, the flame contracted and the droplet shattered as a result of vapor growth within it.
		Speculation on the cause of this variation is that soot shells form between the droplet surface and the flame and interact with the local flow and temperature field.
		N-heptane and n-decane single-droplet combustion in a slow convective flow and flame shapes: The objective is to obtain data on droplet burning rates in a slow, well-defined convective field and to observe the behavior of the soot shell.

		In fact, as the day went on, it grew darker and darker, loud claps of thunder shook the cloud, and the Droplet felt as if he were getting so heavy he could hardly move.
		Suddenly, the Droplet felt himself falling from the cloud.
		And so begins the adventure of Droplet, the water molecule, as he enters the great water cycle- condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and evapotranspiration-and starts his journey home.

	Reducing Spray Drift, Bulletin 816-00, Droplet Size
		In general the longer the droplets remain airborne, the greater the chances they are going to be carried by wind away from the application site.
		Small spray droplets are more susceptible to drift than the larger droplets because they tend to remain airborne much longer than the larger droplets.
		Droplet size where drift potential becomes insignificant depends on wind speeds, but lies in the range of 150 to 200 microns for wind speeds of 1 to 9 miles per hour (Bode, 1984).

	High Altitude UAV Droplet Heat Exchanger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The spatial characteristics of the droplet field are determined by the size and area distribution of orifices that supply the liquid flow and the distortion of the droplet field as it interacts with the gas flow field.
		The velocity of the droplets is the velocity of the liquid jet accelerated or decelerated by the drag of the surrounding gas.
		Droplet drag was calculated to determine how quickly the droplet is accelerated up to the gas speed in the DHX at atmospheric conditions, and to determine the effects of turbulence and recirculation flows on the droplet size chosen.

	Water droplets make an impact (May 2001) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
		The physics of bouncing water droplets underlies a wide range of industrial applications from crop spraying to ink-jet printing, and continues to fascinate after 200 years of research.
		When the molecular interactions between the water and the surface are repulsive, water droplets landing on these so-called hydrophobic solids try to minimize their contact with the surface.
		Rebounding water droplets are somewhat similar to the problem of bouncing solid spheres that was first analysed in detail by the German physicist Heinrich Hertz in the early 1880s.

	Numerical Simulation of Metal-Droplet Deformation and Solidification
		The deformation and spreading of fully liquid droplets as they impact onto a flat or non-flat substrate was considered first.
		If a fully liquid droplet impinging onto a flat substrate leads to good contact between the splat and the substrate, multiple fully liquid droplets striking simultaneously onto other flattening, fully liquid splats cause ejection and rebounding of the liquid, as well as formation of voids within the liquid.
		When solidification is included, Tungsten droplets are found to spread and solidify into splats with diameters 1.6 to 3.8 times the initial droplet diameter within a time of 0.12 to 0.44 micro-s.

	NASA/ MSL-1 Combustion Physics - how?
		DCE will be conducted in the specially designed Droplet Combustion Apparatus, an enclosed chamber in which single droplets of heptane will be burned in an atmosphere composed of a mixture of helium and oxygen.
		The droplet is formed by injecting the heptane through two injectors on opposite sides of the test platform within the chamber.
		To burn bigger droplets, even in microgravity, we need to have some kind of supporting mechanism for the fuel, otherwise the burning drop may move around, hit the walls of the container, or move out of the camera's field of view.

		The height dependencies of cloud droplet radii in continental and marine clouds are also consistent with differences in the vertical profiles of aerosol concentration.
		Significant seasonal and diurnal variations of effective droplet radii are also observed, particularly at lower latitudes.
		Variations of the relationship between cloud optical thickness and droplet radii may indicate variations in cloud microphysical regimes.

		Droplet transmission is a form of contact transmission.
		Note that to be considered droplet transmission the mucous droplet must still be traveling with the velocity imparted on it upon leaving the mouth.
		Airborne transmission requires greater organismal durability than droplet transmission simply because of the length of time the microorganism is exposed to the air, before infecting a new host, is longer.

	A Model for a Spreading and Melting Droplet on a Heated Substrate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The trijunction dynamics, as well as the contact angle, contact line position, and other dynamic quantities for the spreading and melting droplet, are predicted by the model and are compared to an isothermally spreading liquid droplet whose dynamics are controlled exclusively by the contact line.
		We find that in general the differences between the dynamics of a spreading and melting droplet and that of an isothermally spreading droplet increase as ${\cal K}_T$ increases.
		We observe that the presence of the solid phase in the spreading and melting configuration tends to inhibit spreading relative to an isothermally spreading droplet of the same initial geometry.
