By the same principle, for a fixed particle volume, spheres are the slowest to settle in this regime, having the minimum surface area.

In stratified fluids, small porous particles can settle faster than large ones. In linear stratification, the settling rate is set by the solute absorption rate. New predictions and experiments in our latest work out today in @pnas.org.
