Scaling behaviours in settling process of fractal aggregates in water
We investigate the effect of permeant flow on the sedimentation of porous fractalaggregates in water. Our theoretical analysis gives explicit calculations on the scaling behaviours of settling velocities, taking into account the fractality through a proper permeability for fractal aggregates. The calculated results for the scaling behaviours of settling velocities fit remarkably well with exper...
متن کاملFluctuations in settling velocity of red blood cell aggregates
Sedimentation of red blood cell aggregates was experimentally investigated by optical imaging. Suspensions of red blood cell at low hematocrit were obtained from blood of healthy donors. The velocity of three-dimensional red blood cell aggregates was measured using particle image velocimetry. The magnitude and spatial correlation functions of the velocity fluctuations of the settling aggregates...
متن کاملA Combined Raindrop Aggregate Destruction Test-Settling Tube (RADT-ST) Approach to Identify the Settling Velocity
The use of sediment settling velocity based on mineral grain size distribution in erosion models ignores the effects of aggregation on settling velocity. The alternative approach, wet-sieved aggregate size distribution, on the other hand, cannot represent all destructive processes that eroded soils may experience under impacting raindrops. Therefore, without considering raindrop impact, both me...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of the settling of polydisperse suspensions of spheres
The extension of Kynch’s kinematical theory of ideal suspensions to polydisperse suspensions of spheres leads to a nonlinear system of conservation laws for the volumetric concentration of each species. In this work, we consider particle species different in sizes and densities, including the buoyant case. We show that modern shock-capturing numerical schemes for the solution of systems of cons...
متن کاملSettling for less? Tobacco industry.
In November 1998, a coalition of state negotiators and five tobacco companies reached an agreement in which the cigarette makers would pay out the biggest financial settlement in history, $206 billion over the next 25 years to 46 states, to compensate for the medical treatment of patients suffering from tobacco-related health problems. Critics of the settlement say the tobacco companies are get...
