A fluid globule is distinguished from a rigid spherical globule by its viscosity ηg, which is not infinite, and by the continuous globule/phase interfacial tension σ.
For a spherical globule of diameter d, which is subjected neither to deformation nor oscillation, and in laminar flow (Reg < 1), the globule's velocity is equal to the free-fall velocity given by Stokes' formula (6), multiplied by a corrective factor, Hadamard's coefficient H :
