See Turton and Levenspiel (1986) for settling velocity (one particle), Richardson and Zaki (1954) for hindered velocity (suspension), and Wu and Wang (2006) for shape factors. Solid volume must be less than or equal to 0.30. The Corey shape factor of a 2:1 cylinder is 0.71, 4:1 cylinder is 0.50, 10:1 cylinder is 0.32, 2:2:1 prism is 0.25, 4:4:1 prism is 0.25, sphere is 1.0, and sand/sediment is 0.70.
