View source for Sedimentation of tracers in the generic PCM

'''IMPORTANT''': This page concerns the newsedim routine in the Generic physics package (by the way the latest version may be checked here on the trac: https://trac.lmd.jussieu.fr/Planeto/browser/trunk/LMDZ.GENERIC/libf/phystd/newsedim.F

== Overview of the newsedim routine ==
This routine handles the sedimentation of non-gaseous tracers by computing the sedimentation velocity of particles. This requires handling each particle of a given type (fixed radius and density, but also shape) at a time.

== Detailed description of assumptions and computations ==
TODO: By Benjamin?

== Some references ==
* Stokes law corrected for low pressure by the Cunnigham slip-flow correction according to Rossow (1978, https://doi.org/10.1016/0019-1035(78)90072-6 )
* Estimation of the viscosity and the mean molecular radius of the gas mixture composing the atmosphere: ... Kunze et al. 2022, Ackerman & Marley 2001, etc.
