Graduate Velocity change under drag and other forces: small mass, large delta-t
Thank you, jrmichler! If there is no other way, I guess I'll have to live with longer simulation times or try some other tricks like leaving some computations for only every n-th time step. Regarding the drag coefficient: I got the value 0.8 for a Reynolds number of 201.5 from figure 4 in P... -

Graduate Velocity change under drag and other forces: small mass, large delta-t
I am working on simulating the movement of small spherical objects under the influence of drag and a number of other forces that, at least for now, don't depend on the object's velocity. Normally I would sum up all these forces, including drag, to ##F_\Sigma## and update the object's speed...
