'For very small Reynolds numbers, Stokes proposed an analytical solution of drag coefficient by
'solving the general differential equation of Navier–Stokes
'
'CD = 24 / Re Eq.1
'
'The Stokes solution neglects the effects of inertia and is acceptable roughly for Re < 0.4,
'when the laminar boundary layer is not separated from the particle.

'Fig. 1. Drag coefficient for the wide range of Particle Reynolds numbers.
'Data shown in the figure obtained from Stokes regime by Eq. (1) and from experiments
'available in the literature [26,27].
