Spherical particle sedimentation along an inclined plane at high Reynolds numbers

At high Reynolds numbers (10²Re _p <10⁵), the gravity-driven motion of a solid spherical particle along an inclined surface in a Newtonian liquid at rest was studied experimentally. The parameters which determine the particle drag coefficient and its relation with the hydrodynamic force component normal to the wall were obtained.Moscow.
