Video explaining how to apply Stokes' Law to calculate settling velocity and settling time for sediment particles of various sizes. Tyson Ochsner, Dep. of Plant and Soil Sciences, Oklahoma State University.
This really helped me select pigment powders to test for use with 3D printing resins that wouldn't settle over the duration of print runs, by better understanding the fundamental properties to look for. Thank you!
I have a question; To build a wetland water treatment but a first sediment tank I wish if possible to build a not very deep as 1m max and above the ground if possible and to place it in a glass house near the house. This way I would achieve gravity fed system down flowing without pumps, to reed beds, and in a glass house I would have a thermal accumulator - reservour with water to stabilise the temperature. So would it favour the sedimentation or eventually anaerobic process? Was it tried? Is any problem with this solution?
I have a question.The example in this video viscosity with 1.0×10^-3kgm^-1s^-1, in other words water.In the case of falling balls, is it correct to understand that particles of very small diameter are used to make the Reynolds number smaller than 1 and cannot be measured if they are about the size of a marble? from Japanese high school student
I need some help. I have been reading tons of papers and the situations are never precisely described or analyzed and involve mathematics that do not sensibly follow from the simplest case assumption of this video. My situation: I need to model the gravitational sedimentation of a flexible fibre (assume a cylinder) that will be rotationally stabilized such that its orientation will never deviate from the absolute vertical and that it will continue to sediment vertically. Furthermore, it will be magnetic. This means that I will be attracting it in the same direction as gravity, but since terminal velocity for gravity exists at a constant gravitational acceleration, I am confused as to how this will pose differently for the magnet. The magnetic field will have a higher applied force as the object nears the magnet, which means that acceleration itself increases. And thus, I am not sure how to resolve this for velocity for an entire sedimentation event.
