FallVelocity
This model is used to calculate Particle fall velocity.
Model introduction
This model calculate fall velocity for spheres. Uses formulation of Dietrich (1982).

Notes
This formulation is only valid for Reynold’s numbers less than or equal to 2.5·106. If Rep is greater than this upper limit, the function will alert the user, and exit the program.
