Stokes’ Drag Forces with no correction applied (F_D) (Equation (1)) and with Faxen’s correction (F_c) (Equation (2)) and ellipsoidal shape correction ($K_a^{\prime }$ (Equation (3)) and $K_b^{\prime }$ (Equation (4)) applied. a = minor axis (cell width), b = major axis (cell length) and d = particle diameter.
