A Regulator for Continuous Sedimentation in Ideal Clarifier-Thickener Units
Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to present a regulator for control of the continuous-sedimentation process in a clarifier-thickener unit when this is modelled in one space dimension and when the settling properties of the solids obey Kynch’s assumption. The model is a scalar hyperbolic conservation law with space-discontinuous flux function and point source. The most desired type of solu...
متن کاملA Model of Continuous Sedimentation of Flocculated Suspensions in Clarifier-Thickener Units
The chief purpose of this paper is to formulate and partly analyze a new mathematical model for continuous sedimentation-consolidation processes of flocculated suspensions in clarifierthickener units. This model appears in two variants for cylindrical and variable cross-sectional area units, respectively (Models 1 and 2). In both cases, the governing equation is a scalar, strongly degenerate pa...
متن کاملNumerical Methods for the Simulation of Continuous Sedimentation in Ideal Clarifier-thickener Units
We consider a model of continuous sedimentation. Under idealizing assumptions, the settling of the solid particles under the influence of gravity can be described by the initial value problem for a nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equation with a flux function that depends discontinuously on height. The purpose of this contribution is to present and demonstrate two numerical methods fo...
متن کاملSecond-order schemes for conservation laws with discontinuous flux modelling clarifier-thickener units
Continuously operated clarifier-thickener units can be modeled by a non-linear, scalar conservation law with a flux that involves two parameters that depend discontinuously on the space variable. This paper presents two numerical schemes for the solution of this equation that have formal second-order accuracy in both the time and space variable. One of the schemes is a standard total variation ...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of clarifier-thickener units treating ideal suspensions with a flux density function having two inflection points
Abstract. We consider a nonconvex conservation law modelling the settling of particles in ideal clarifier-thickener units. The flux function of this conservation law has an explicit spatial dependence that is discontinuous. Previous works by two of the authors, together with collaborators, have been aimed at providing a firm rigorous ground of mathematical (global existence and uniqueness) and ...
