Condensation growth of microdroplets levitating over a heated liquid film

This work is devoted to the study of such an interesting phenomenon as levitation of liquid microdroplets above the surface of a heated film. Levitating microdroplets of liquid are formed due to condensation of the upward flow of steam. The height of the drop levitation is comparable to their size. This paper presents new experimental data on the dependence of the droplet diameter on time. Microdroplets of liquid being in a two-dimensional array of microdroplets and levitating above the heated liquid film constantly grow due to condensation. The diameter of the droplets practically linearly increases with time. The obtained non-trivial results require further careful research.
