Terminal Settling Velocity calculator

Performs iterative calculation to determine settling velocity in a transitional flow. The basic principle is to iterate the calculation until the settling velocity does not change within your desired level of significant figures. Such a velocity is often used for sizing settling chambers for water treatment and other processes.

Use Any Units. You must ensure that units are consistent. Default values are for SI Units.
Exponential Notation follows the form 1.00E-N for 1.00 x 10-N and 1.00E+N for 1.00 x 10N.

(Limit is 100, more than enough)
