Improved Numerical Model for Sedimentation
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 3
Abstract
Sedimentation as a diffusion process is described. The concerned differential equation is solved by a numerical method which can avoid numerical diffusion, therefore predicting more accurately removal ratios in settling basins. Also, concentration profiles and diagrams for dimensioning retarding basins can be computed for different initial and boundary conditions.
