Motion of solid particles in a fluid
For a sphere
Stoke’s law
-
Standard drag curve for motion of a sphere in a fluid
-
Reynolds number ranges for single
particle drag coefficient correlations
At higher relative velocity, the inertia of fluid begins to dominate.
Four regions are identified: Stoke’s law, intermediate, newton’s law, boundary layer
separation.

Particles falling under gravity through a fluid
Method for estimating terminal velocity for a given size of particle and vice versa

Non-spherical particles
Drag coefficient CD versus Reynolds number ReP for particles of sphericity
ranging from 0.125 to 1.0

Effect of boundaries on terminal
velocity
Sand particles falling from rest in air (particle density, 2600 kg/m3)
When a particle is falling through a fluid in the presence of a solid boundary the terminal
Velocity reached by the particle is less than that for an infinite fluid.

• Where the plotted line intersects the standard
drag curve for a sphere (y = 1), Rep = 130.
• The diameter can be calculated from:
Re 130f v T

x U
Hence sphere diameter, xv = 619 m.
• For a cube having the same terminal velocity under the
same conditions, the same CD vesus Rep relationship
applies, only the standard drag curve is that for a cube
(y = 0.806)
