Fig. 3 Diagram of a deformed drop with the diameters of major (perpendicular to the direction of drop motion) and minor (parallel) axes of the deformed drop dmax and dmin and its shape at equilibrium (the volumes of an undisturbed and deformed drop are Vo=(π/6)d03 and V=(π/6)dmax2dmin respectively. From volume conservation considerations (assuming no significant evaporation occurs): d03=dmax2dmin. The aspect ratio and cross-sectional (projected) area of a deformed drop are AR=dmin/dmax=d03/dmax3 and A=π4dmax2=π4d03/dmax3).
