Sedimentation motion of sand particles in moving water (I): The resistance on a small sphere moving in non-uniform flow

In hydraulics, when we deal with the problem of sand particles moving relative to the surrounding water, Stokes’ formula of resistance has usually been used to render the velocity of sedimentation of the particles. But such an approach has not been proved rigorously, and its accuracy must be careful...
