Abstract Terminal velocities of drops of organic liquids of diameter 0.0726 to 0.7256 cm in polymer solutions are determined. The Reynolds number range covered is 0.1 to 10 3 . Visual observations on the shapes and oscillations of drops are reported. A correlation for the terminal velocity data is presented.
