Fluid dynamics of a spherical particle: tabulation of settling velocity, Reynolds number, drag coefficient, relaxation time, and acceleration-distance in air and water

Various fluid dynamical parameters are calculated for spherical particles falling freely in air and in water. Tabulations include settling velocity, drag coefficient, and Reynolds number for particles from 1 to 1000 microns in diameter and having a buoyancycorrected density of 1 to 12 g/cm/sup 3/. (auth)
