GENERAL EQUATION OF THE HYDRAULIC FRICTION LAW FOR HINDERED FALLING OF AN INDIVIDUAL BALL AND FLUID MOTION IN GRANULAR LAYERS by M. V. Krautsov, A. M. Krautsov

“…The article presents the results of a research into various hydromechanical processes such as hindered falling of an individual ball in a liquid; suspension of a homogeneous monodispersed granular layer with ascending fluid flow; homogeneous liquid filtration in a porous granular layer. The authors generalize the results of theoretical and experimental studies, employ the theory of similarity, and establish that the laws of hydraulic friction for the mentioned hydromechanical processes share the common ground described by one general equation that provides basis for obtaining the individual formulae computing the studied hydromechanical processes. …”
