The Use of High-Speed Cameras as a Tool for the Characterization of Raindrops in Splash Laboratory Studies

Measuring the characteristics of raindrops is essential for different processes studies. There have been many methods used throughout history to measure raindrops. In recent years, automatic image recognition and processing systems with high-speed cameras characterize rainfall by obtaining spectrum droplet sizes their speeds thus being able use this technology calibrate simulators. work, two phases were carried out: in first one, individual drops terminal measured processed both speed shape a camera; second phase, calibration procedure was designed but multidrop images, determining produced rain simulator. According results, real each drop depending on size determined, from round ovaloid shapes, velocity water measured. Based images simulator, it observed that, higher intensity rain, smaller, which contrasts just opposite happens. This evaluates resemblance reality, calculates kinetic energy they produce see if can be model events nature.
