Seepage effects on settling velocity by Goh, Alvin Hanchang.

“…Uniform plastic spherical particles of varying diameters (0.630cm, 0.790cm, 0.950cm and 1.285cm) and densities under different seepage inflow rates (0 m3/s, 1X10-4 m3/s, 2X10-4 m3/s and 5X10-4 m3/s) are used. The drag coefficient is the most important property in the mechanics of particle motion and fluid dynamics because most particles in real life are employed either to overcome or to utilize the drag caused by the fluid. …”
