Viscous friction acting on a solid disk falling in confined fluid: Lessons for the scaling analysis

We fill a viscous liquid in a vertically stood cell of millimeter thickness, called the Hele-Shaw cell, and insert a disk in the liquid whose thickness is smaller than the cell thickness. The disk starts falling in the liquid due to gravity opposed by viscous friction. We focus on the case in which...
