Analytical Solutions of the Riccati Differential Equation: Particle Deposition in a Viscous Stagnant Fluid

In this communication, the solution of the differential Riccati equation is shown to provide a closed analytical expression for the transient settling velocity of arbitrary non-spherical particles in a still, unbounded viscous fluid. Such a solution is verified against the numerical results of the i...
