Abstract
We conduct an experimental investigation of droplet sliding under the influence of a laminar or turbulent airflow for water and glycerin droplets. The onset of sliding is described with a critical Weber number that depends on the Reynolds number through the drag coefficient. During sliding, various shapes (oval, corner, and rivulet) are observed, and transitions are predicted using a capillary number.
