Acknowledgments

The writer wishes to thank both discussers for providing the additional material referred to. Dr. Absi (personal communication, 2009) also indicated an overlooked typing error in Eq. (18), in which the drag correction factor should read (1+0.150Rp0.687)-1. Dr. Muste kindly made available his experimental data from the experiments carried out at Kobe University.
