I am looking for a bit of guidance on how one could calculate the drag force of a sphere with holes in the sphere falling through a fluid, in my case water.
So I know for a low Reynolds number the drag force on a sphere is given by stoke law, but what I would like to do is calculate the drag force on a sphere with holes in it.
I am very new to fluid mechanics and more or less want guidance on where to look, i.e should I be looking a Bernoulli equation for example, or could I form more of a drag equation from dimensional quantities?Any advice and guide would be much welcome.
