The settling or rising velocity of a single spherical particle in a vertically oscillating fluid is analysed in terms of the nonlinear perturbation technique. It is demonstrated that the retardation of the particle in an oscillating fluid is caused essentially by the nonlinear nature of the drag force, and the retardation is found to be governed by three independent variables, the Reynolds number of the settling sphere in still fluid, the dimensionless velocity amplitude of the fluid oscillation and the dimensionless frequency of fluid oscillation. It is shown that the existing theories are special cases of the present analysis. The model is tested with Ho's data which cover wide ranges of the three independent parameters, and it supports the current theory.
