Falling velocity of a heavy particle in turbulent field
Falling of a heavy particle in turbulent fluid apart from Stokes law was considered. It was shown the relaxation time for the longitudinal dispersion differs from the value of the parameter for the transverse displacement of the particle. The distribution of the particle fluctuating velocity in the direction parallel to the external force is asymmetric because of the non-linear dependence of the drag force on the slip velocity.
