the force acting on the whole slurry due to the atmosphere (𝐹 𝑎𝑡𝑚 ) was calculated as the atmospheric pressure (𝑃 𝑎𝑡𝑚 = 101325 Pa) by the slurry surface (𝑆 𝑠𝑙𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑦 ) and (ii) a fraction of 𝐹 𝑎𝑡𝑚 was added to each particle as a function of its surface area (𝑆 𝑖 ) normalized to the sum of surface areas of all the particles in the system. Then, through this strategy the sum of the forces applied to the particles in the system is consistently equal to 𝐹 𝑎𝑡𝑚 . Considering all the above, sedimentation along the simulation is mainly driven by bigger and heavier AM particles, as expected experimentally.
