Abstract
The results of the experimental investigation of gravitational sedimentation of a consolidated system of solid monodisperse spherical particles in a viscous liquid are represented over wide ranges of the particle number density and the Reynolds and Stokes numbers. Empirical dependences of the velocity of sedimentation of a particle aggregate and the drag coefficient of a system of particles as functions of the initial volume number density are obtained. The boundary values of the particle number density separating the sedimentation regimes are determined.
