Analysis of the Dynamics of a Freely Falling Body in a Viscous Fluid: Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach

The dynamics of solid objects falling through a viscous fluid was studied. The forces that control the motion as well as the effects of fluid viscosity and object density were studied using an analytical model. Wall effect due to the presence of finite fluid boundaries was evaluated using CFD. Throu...
