It is found that the motion and size distribution of droplets are related to the contact angles and the contact angle hysteresis. The relationship between the droplet radium ratio of adjacent generations in the fractal model of dropwise condensation and the contact angle hysteresis was obtained, and the calculated results agree well with the experimental data. On the surface existing contact angle hysteresis, the droplet grows up mainly by the pulsating motion, and it will cause the stepwise segment distribution of droplet sizes to occur. Furthermore, the pulsation of droplets is also affected by the inducing factors, such as the uneven distribution of the surface free energy over the condensing surface, etc., and the strong inducing effect leads to the obvious stepwise distribution of the droplet generation. The occasionality and randomicity of droplet ejections are also attributed to the droplet pulsation resulting from the con
