coalescence efficiency

The fraction of all collisions between water drops of a specified size that results in actual merging of the two drops into a single larger drop.

In discussing the details of the growth of raindrops by collision and coalescence, it is important to distinguish clearly the terms coalescence efficiency, collision efficiency, and collection efficiency, the last being equal to the product of the first two.
