“…Vertical wind tunnels and theoretical calculations were used to determine the terminal velocity of chickpea seeds (Mohsenin, 1986;Gorial & O'callaghan, 1990;Rabani et al, 2002;Tabatabaeefar et al, 2003;Kilikan & Güner, 2010;Gürsoy & Güzel, 2010;Razavi et al, 2010). However, for R e higher than 50, the drag coefficient curves level off, and therefore, the assumption of sphericity results in considerable error (Mohsenin, 1986;Gorial & O'callaghan, 1990;Marcus et al, 1990). As the R e for chickpea grains is 6,800 (Gorial & O'callaghan, 1990), the sphericity-based theoretical calculation of terminal velocity is not valid.…”
