Many studies attribute the evolution of droplet size distribution in warm convective clouds to enhancement of collision-coalescence by turbulence. One of the phenomena in which turbulence manifests its influence on droplet spatial distribution is preferential concentration. Majority of research about preferential concentration focus on the statistical analysis though. Such approach obscures some dynamical effects important for better understanding cloud microphysics. One of them is droplets response to presence of vortex tubes considered the smallest elements of turbulence. In this study we examine motion of inertial, heavy droplets in theoretical models of such tubes aligned at arbitrary angle to the direction of gravity. Both analytical calculations and numerical simulations demonstrate characteristic features of droplet motion in plane perpendicular to the vortex axis, such as gathering in regions attributed to equilibrium points, limit cycles or stable, periodic
