20. 2=1/3 in lattice units. Thus, Ma ~ O(10-2) and errors related to inherent compressibility of the method are O(10-4).
21. We note that in our simulations we specify the constant external acceleration acting on the particle, which is multiplied by the particle mass to compute the net force acting on it. Therefore, the expression for the Stokes settling velocity in Eq. (1) contains just the particle density ρp, and not the difference between the particle and fluid densities, δρ = ρp - ρf.
