Trajectory of the center of mass for the rising sphere (Sec. 4.6) in the (a) x-y and (b) x-z planes along with the experimental data of Horowitz and Williamson [100]. The vortex wake structure for the rising sphere at locations A, B, and C shown on the x-y plane trajectory. Simulation parameters include Re = 450, m* = 0.11, and D = 1.3 cm.
