Abstract
A statistical description of droplets in turbulent spray, connected wi th the description of turbulent dissipation, is presented. The ideas o f similarity, the cascade processes, and the infinitely divisible dist ributions are used in this description. Formulas for characteristic dr oplet sizes and corresponding probability distributions are obtained a long with a simple formula for turbulent dissipation in flow near a sh ip.
