Sedimentation of drops in a viscous liquid on an inclined plane.
POSTER
Abstract
We present the dynamics of sedimentation of water drops ($\mu_{w} =8.92\times 10^{-4}Ns/m^{2})$ in silicone oil of viscosities $0.019Ns/m^{2}<\mu_{si} <0.095Ns/m^{2}$ on a flat plate inclined at angles ranging from $10^{o}<\alpha <30^{o}$.The drop motion falls in the Stokes regime since Reynolds Number $Re=\frac{Ud}{\nu_{si} }<1$. The range of Bond Number $(Bo=\frac{\Delta \rho gR^{2}}{\sigma })$ from $0.075
