Unsteady sedimentation analysis of spherical particles in Newtonian fluid media using analytical methods

Unsteady settling behavior of solid spherical particles falling in water as a Newtonian fluid is investigated using a drag coefficient of the form given by Ferreira et al. Differential transformation method (DTM), Galerkin method (GM), collocation method (CM), and numerical methods are applied to an...
