Abstract
The process of nonstationary convective diffusion to a moving drop at low Re is examined. Equations for the dimensionless diffusion flow Nu to the surface of the drop and for the length of the nonstationary region and the time required for the establishment of steady-state diffusion conditions are obtained.
