  2. Drop (liquid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_(liquid)

    Water drops on a leaf A water drop falling from a tap. A drop or droplet is a small column of liquid, bounded completely or almost completely by free surfaces.A drop may form when liquid accumulates at the end of a tube or other surface boundary, producing a hanging drop called a pendant drop.

  3. Fog drip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_drip

    It occurs when water droplets from the fog adhere to the needles or leaves of trees or other objects, coalesce into larger drops and then drop to the ground. [ 1 ] Fog drip can be an important source of moisture in areas of low rainfall, or in areas that are seasonally dry.

  4. Lotus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_effect

    Water on the surface of a lotus leaf. Water droplets on taro leaf with lotus effect (upper), and taro leaf surface magnified (0–1 is one millimetre span) showing a number of small protrusions (lower). Computer graphic of a lotus leaf surface. A water drop on a lotus surface showing contact angles of approximately 147°.

  5. Dew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew

    Dew is water in the form of droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning or evening due to condensation. [1] As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that at which it can evaporate, resulting in the formation of water droplets. [2]

  6. Leidenfrost effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect

    Leidenfrost droplet Demonstration of the Leidenfrost effect Leidenfrost effect of a single drop of water. The Leidenfrost effect is a physical phenomenon in which a liquid, close to a solid surface of another body that is significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer that keeps the liquid from boiling rapidly.

  7. Ultrahydrophobicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrahydrophobicity

    A drop on a lotus surface, with a contact angle of greater than 146°. A water droplet falling onto a superhydrophobic, elastic surface. In chemistry and materials science, ultrahydrophobic (or superhydrophobic) surfaces are highly hydrophobic, i.e., extremely difficult to wet.

  8. Splash (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splash_(fluid_mechanics)

    Slow motion video of a fruit falling into water. In fluid mechanics, a splash is a sudden disturbance to the otherwise quiescent free surface of a liquid (usually water).The disturbance is typically caused by a solid object suddenly hitting the surface, although splashes can occur in which moving liquid supplies the energy.

  9. Water Droplets (Sibelius) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Droplets_(Sibelius)

    Water Droplets, which was published posthumously in 1997 by Fazer Music [], [1] is in the key of E minor and has a 4 4 time signature. [a] Structurally, it is, according to Daniel Grimley, "a little Mozartian study ... with a simple Alberti (broken-chord) accompaniment", in which the main theme is first presented (measures 1–4) and then twice repeated with modifications (measures 5–8 and 9 ...
