Abstract

A liquid droplet travelling within a gaseous mean is the general description for a large number of scientific and practical problems. This applies also to sprinkler irrigation. The related scientific literature mostly proposes Classical Newtonian approaches in many different forms and the present paper reports one of those and its principal equations. But the true challenge is that of associating to this approach another, i.e. the Quantum one, so offering novel point of view in this branch of research. In particular two Quantum approaches were utilised: the DTSE and a ScRt application. While the former provides the most complete description of the process, the latter provides an easier-to-use mean and both contribute, together with the Classical approach, to a broader understanding of a flying droplet dynamics.
