Abstract
We studied the influence of sizes of droplets, forming the “droplet cluster” dissipative structure, on their levitation height in the vapor-air flow, which appears when free surface of horizontal water layer is locally heated. A sharp decrease in the velocity of the vapor-air flow takes place at a distance from the surface comparable with the droplet diameter. Allowing for the aerodynamic nature of the droplet levitation, this peculiarity of the flow determines the high stability of location of the droplet cluster above the interface. Existence of droplets that are anomalously heavy in the slope of the Stokes levitation mechanism is described.
