Particle Settling Velocity
The settling velocity formulas which consider the particle shape are the Dietrich (1982) and Wu and Wang (2006). The Dietrich (1982) formula is the only one which considers the particle roundness. Of the particle settling velocity formulas available in HEC-RAS, the Rubey (1933) and Toffaleti (1968) produce the slowest and fastest velocities for ...

A relationship for settling velocity that incorporates larger particles, such as sands with Re > 10, has been developed by Ferguson and Church (2004) as shown in equation 10.2. Equation 10.2 becomes Stokes' Law at small particle diameters and results in a constant drag coefficient for large particle diameters.

Impacts of particle shape on sedimentation of particles
The terminal settling velocity, which is obtained after the system attains a statistically steady state, tends to decrease with an increase in the particle aspect ratio α. It is also found that the settling velocity of a rectangle (a particle with sharp corners) is lower than that of the corresponding ellipse (a particle with a round edge).

Deriving Stoke's Law for Settling Velocity
The size of the particles influence the settling velocity. When the particles have smaller dimensions, they reach their settling velocity faster. As the size increases, the time taken to reach settling velocity increases. Settling velocity is a measure to determine how much time is taken by the particle to either rise or fall a given distance.
