Abstract Drops’ fall in the horizontal sheared flow with an embedded ‘‘frozen'’ sinusoidal velocity fluctuation is studied. It is shown that drops’ trajectory and velocity appear to be very complicated even in this simple case. The fluctuation ‘‘frozen'’ in the flow concentrates droplets in certain points of equilibrium, located spatially in certain places relative to the phase of the fluctuation. The distance between these points depends on the ‘‘wavelength'’ of the fluctuation. Thus, ‘‘frozen'’ turbulence can lead to an increase of the concentration of water drops (especially small droplets) in certain zones and to a decrease of drop concentration between these zones. At a certain drop fall distance in a sheared flow a qualitative change of the drop motion character takes place: due to the saddle-node bifurcation drop velocity (and trajectory) oscillations are generated. This critical fall distance and parameters of oscillations depend on the drop mass and flow parameters: the wind shear value, amplitud...
