A spherical particle settles in a liquid contained in a narrow vessel. Upon what variables would you expect the falling velocity of the particle to depend? Obtain the relevant dimensionless groups.
For particles of a given density settling in a vessel of large diameter, the settling velocity is found to be inversely proportional to the viscosity of the liquid. How would this depend on particle size?
