Spherical Particles v/s Nonspherical Particles on ROCKY
The use of nonspherical particles allows to represent of the most real way the dynamics of
rotations and interlocking of particles.

Schiller & Naumann drag law did not take in account for the non-sphericity,
predicting higher terminal velocity than Ganser, so that the bigger paper particles fall
down.
