I appreciate your quick response,

To be a little more specific, I am interested in tracking the sedimentation of particles, which are not even that small 500-2500 µm (2.5 mm), the density ratio can range between 1.1 to 2.5. Regarding the particle size relative to the domain cell size, I'll show u two images of 2D circular and elliptical cylinder.

 

   

 

I would be interested in other points of view, and the option of being able to move the fluid instead of the particle could be considered. However, I don't know if this is the right way to solve the problem, since I would like to be able to not only obtain the fluid dynamic forces (drag, lift and torque) during settling, but also track the particle's trajectory and velocity.
