def Flemmer_Banks(Re):
    r'''Calculates drag coefficient of a smooth sphere using the method in
    [1]_ as described in [2]_.

    .. math::
        C_D = \frac{24}{Re}10^E

        E = 0.383Re^{0.356}-0.207Re^{0.396} - \frac{0.143}{1+(\log_{10} Re)^2}

    Parameters
    ----------
    Re : float
        Reynolds number of the sphere, [-]

    Returns
    -------
    Cd : float
        Drag coefficient [-]

    Notes
    -----
    Range is Re <= 2E5

    Examples
