Collisions of micron-sized charged water droplets in still air

We show that the relative dynamics of charged water droplets settling in still air contains fixed points determined by the combination of hydrodynamic interactions, particle and fluid inertia, and electrostatic forces. For droplets with large enough opposite charges, the stable manifold of a saddle...
