Velocity of large drops and bubbles in media of infinite or restricted extent
Abstract
A new theory gives a simple method of calculating the terminal velocity of fluid particles moving in media of either infinite or restricted extent. Empirical and semiempirical formulas [Equations (27) and (30)] and a graph (Figure 6) over the interval 0 ≤ d/D ≤ 1.3 are shown to yield satisfactory results for gas or liquid particles moving in liquid media. In the case of liquid drops falling through gaseous media they give only a rough approximation. Graphs showing the variation of the drag coefficient (Figure 1) and the shape (Figure 2) of fluid particles with the Eötvös number are given. A semiempirical equation for the terminal velocity of solid spheres in restricted media has also been developed [Equation (24)].

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
