  1. Stokes Law and the Idea of Terminal velocity For Laminar flow, there are three forces that can be calculated to act On a solid sphere moving vertically through a fluid. Friction Drag Form Drag Gravity Or Buoyancy Form Drag Friction Drag Gravity

  2. Falling sphere with velocity Vt Friction Drag Form Drag Gravity Motionless Sphere in Moving Fluid Fluid velocity=Vt What Happens if Vfluid>Vt? Gravity

  3. Stokes Law for Turbulent and Laminar Flow Laminar  Turbulent when Re>0.1 to 1
