The Pedet number for sedimentation can be used to estimate the influence of gravity on a colloidal system. It spedfies the ratio between gravitational settling and Brownian motion (Equation 9.2) [23] [Pg.174]

Similarly, the Reynolds number (Re) measures the ratio between inertia and viscous drag, and has values below unity for PS beads in water (Equation 9.3) [24] [Pg.174]
