Drag, Raindrop. What minimum upward wind speed will keep a small raindrop (D = 0.5mm) from falling downward? (b) At what speed would a drop twice as large (D = 1 mm) fall in the same upward wind? Assume low Re Stokes flow but check it with your results for Re - do not iterate. Ans OM: (a) Uw ~ 10⁰ m/s; (b) Ut~ 10¹ m/s
