Formulation of the Settling Velocity of Small Particles Initially Situated inside an Inclined Vortex

Both the estimation of the time that small heavy particles remain inside a 3D vortex and the estimation of the average settling velocity of those particles are some important features in many practical situations. Previous works focused on the case of a horizontal 2D vortex. In this paper, we simula...
