particle_settling_velocity¶
Show source in settling_velocity.py:22
Calculate the settling velocity of a particle in a fluid.
Arguments¶
particle_radius
- The radius of the particle [m].particle_density
- The density of the particle [kg/m³].slip_correction_factor
- The slip correction factor to account for non-continuum effects [dimensionless].gravitational_acceleration
- The gravitational acceleration. Defaults to standard gravity [9.80665 m/s²].dynamic_viscosity
- The dynamic viscosity of the fluid [Pa*s].
Returns¶
The settling velocity of the particle in the fluid [m/s].
