Abstract: The rate of water evaporation has been experimentally determined under conditions that ensure the formation of a dissipative structure of the droplet cluster type [1, 2]. It is shown that, in the region of localization of a droplet cluster, the velocity of the vapor-air flow is sufficient to maintain the levitation of droplets over the liquid surface according to the Stokes mechanism.
