CFD and calculated velocities for different inlet velocities.

Inlet velocity, (m/s)	(m/s)		Re number	RMSD/ADD
0.1	0.020/0.017	0.657	1029	0.0029/0.0025
0.5	0.085/0.084	2.793	2573
0.75	0.125/0.127	4.107	7719
1.0	0.165/0.169	5.421	10292

The terminal velocity ( m/s) was calculated for the maximum particle size (0.355 mm).
