Particle Sedimentation in a Fluid at Low Reynolds Number: A Generalization of Hindered Settling Described by a Two‐Phase Continuum Model

Abstract Particle‐fluid separation by settling is a ubiquitous process in Earth and Planetary Sciences. The settling velocity of particles is controlled by a balance between buoyancy and drag forces. Since the seminal work of George Gabriel Stokes, parameterizations for the reduction of particle vel...
