Settling velocity of sediments at high concentrations
New data on the settling velocity of artificial sediments and natural sands at high concentrations are presented. The data are compared with a widely used semiempirical Richardson and Zaki equation (Trans. Inst. Chem. Eng. 32 (1954) 35), which gives an accurate measure of the reduction in velocity as a function of concentration and an experimentally determined empirical power n. Here, a simple ...
متن کاملField Measurement of Particle Settling Velocity
Many stormwater management practices depend on sedimentation as their primary removal mechanism, but the settling velocity distribution of particles in runoff from a specific watershed is rarely known. A simple and effective method to characterize settling velocity distribution is needed to improve the design of stormwater management practices. Elutriation devices have been used to characterize...
متن کاملSettling velocity characterization of aquacultural solids
A top-loading settling column is described and used to characterize the settling properties of the solids in the discharge water from a commercial rainbow trout production facility. Mass-based and phosphorus-based settling curves are presented. The median settling velocity on a mass-basis for the settleable solids was 1.7 cm s. The median settling velocity for the settleable phosphorus was 1.15...
متن کاملEvaluation of sediments trap efficiency in medium-scale settling basins (Case Study: Settling basin of Kamandan intake)
One of the most important issues in water supply for agriculture or drinking is sediment control.Sedimentation in water conveyance channels reduces transmission efficiency. this study evaluated theefficiency of settling basin of Kamandan intake that is located in the village of Aligoodarz in Lorestanprovince. At first sample from water and sediment in inlet and outlet of settling basin in diffe...
متن کاملIssues in Parameter Selection: Phytoplankton Settling Velocity
Given the relative simplicity of all simulation models in comparison to the complexity of nature, it seems reasonable to question the legitimacy of any "mechanistic" mathematical description of surface water quality. Further, given data limitations and scientific knowledge limitations, it seems reasonable to question even the goal to strive for a model that need not be calibrated. The correctne...
