Abstract
Sedimentation rates of settling of single non-spherical particles within a bounded Newtonian fluid were experimentally determined as well as modelled numerically using a fully 3D boundary element method. The numerical study was then extended to the case of the unbounded fluid. Results give confidence as to the utility of the BEM as a modelling technique for sedimentation of single particles at small Reynolds numbers
