| Jun 29, 2017 at 7:21 | comment | added | Raketenolli | Considering that there are so many hypotheses (see WP article linked above and the answers) and a number of other factors (shower geometry, curtain geometry, person geometry, ambient temperature, humidity and pressure, spray characteristics, materials, water chemistry ...), I would assume that all mechanisms (convection, vortex, Bernoulli, electrostatic etc.) have some sort of effect, whose strength depends on all the other parameters. | |
