SUMMARY

The settling velocity in a rotating field is defined as the terminal velocity where the drag force equals gravitational force. In such a field, the presence of rotation reduces the terminal settling velocity of a sphere. The specific expression for this velocity in a rotating field requires further exploration of fluid dynamics principles and the effects of rotational forces on drag. This discussion invites contributions on the derivation of the expression and encourages sharing of research findings.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
  • Knowledge of terminal velocity concepts
  • Familiarity with drag force calculations
  • Basic grasp of rotational motion effects on objects

TL;DR
Hi there, The settling velocity is terminal velocity at which drag force is equal to the gravity. When the sphere is in rotating field the terminal settling velocity is reduced. What will be the expression for it in rotating field?
