Transport behaviour of solids

Transport behaviour of solids (2)

The settling velocity is centrally important in describing the transport behaviour of undissolved solids as it determines their sedimentation capacity. It is influenced by:

  • Flow in the channel

    • turbulence,

    • viscosity of the water and

    • density of water

  • Characteristics of the solids

    • particle size

    • particle shape

    • particle density
