Two formulas are proposed for explicitly evaluating drag coefficient and settling velocity of spherical particles, respectively, in the entire subcritical region. Comparisons with fourteen previously-developed formulas show that the present study gives the best representation of a complete set of hi

Solid particles of cylindrical shape play a significant role in many separations processes. Explicit equations for the drag coefficient and the terminal velocity of free-falling cylindrical particles have been developed in this work. The developed equations are based on available experimental data f
The sedimentation of solid particles of simple form and complex form has been studied. The applied data in the case of isometric particles have been compared to those of spherical particles of same volume. This comparison allows highlighting an equivalent sedimentation diameter concept. Dimensionle
