The sediment settling velocity, ωs (ms-1) in stagnant water is
dependent on the sediment diameter, d (m), sediment density, ρs
(kgm-3), water density, ρ (kgm-3),dynamic viscosity of water, μ
(kgm-1 s-1), and gravitational acceleration, g (ms-2).By applying
the dimensional analysis, develop the equation in terms of phi, π
to
explain the ωs.
