 Settling velocity is given by:

 where vs is the particle's settling

 velocity (m/s) (vertically downwards
 if ρp > ρf, upwards if ρp < ρf ),
 g is the gravitational acceleration
 (m/s2), ρp is the mass density of the
 particles (kg/m3), ρf is the mass
 density of the fluid (kg/m3) and
 μ is the dynamic viscosity (kg /m*s).
