    How 

    to compute a settling velocity and a critical diameter for suspension 

    Equilibrium equation for a falling particle: 

    4𝑔𝑑
    𝑤 𝑠 1  
    3𝐶

    Equation for the drag coefficient: 

    24 𝜈
    𝐶 1.5 
    𝑤 𝑑

    I obtain a second‐order equation to compute w0: 

    24 𝜈 4
    1.5 𝑤 𝑤 𝑔𝑑 𝑠 1 0 
    𝑑 3

    Let us multiply that equation times ds and find another one that can be used to compute the critical 
    diameter for suspension: 

    4
    24 𝜈 𝑤 1.5 𝑤 𝑑 𝑔𝑑 𝑠 1 0 
    3

    (after imposing V*/w0 = a chosen threshold and thus finding a value for a w0 of the critical diameter).
