The "running in the rain" problem revisited: an analytical and numerical approach

The dependence between the speed of an object that travels a given distance through the rain and the volume of water dumped on it by the raindrops is examined in this work. Considering a model based on the average distance between the raindrops, it is possible to obtain an analytical equation that e...
