The following pictures present drop shapes recorded in stagnant air. In the literature several well known models exist for equilibrium drop shapes.

Example 1: Drop in stagnant air, equivolumetric spheric. diameter = 2.04 mm, H/W = 0.92, ROPEX = 0.92

Example 2: Drop in stagnant air, equivolumetric spheric. diameter = 2.98 mm, H/W = 0.85, ROPEX = 0.85

Example 3: Drop in stagnant air, equivolumetric spheric. diameter = 4.00 mm, H/W = 0.77, ROPEX = 0.78

Example 4: Drop in stagnant air, equivolumetric spheric. diameter = 5.03 mm, H/W = 0.73, ROPEX = 0.71

Example 5: Drop in stagnant air, equivolumetric spheric. diameter = 6.04 mm, H/W = 0.64, ROPEX = 0.64

Example 6: Drop in stagnant air, equivolumetric spheric. diameter = 7.02 mm, H/W = 0.59, ROPEX = 0.58.
Please note the change in the scale when comparing to the previous examples!

Example 7: Drop in stagnant air, equivolumetric spheric. diameter = 7.97 mm, H/W = 0.46, ROPEX = 0.52

Example 8: Drop in stagnant air, equivolumetric spheric. diameter = 8.91 mm, H/W = 0.48, ROPEX = 0.46

Example 9: Drop in stagnant air, equivolumetric spheric. diameter = 9.14 mm, H/W = 0.54, ROPEX = 0.45
