Surge flushing – Process description
From a physical point of view, potential energy (by backing up the sewage) is transformed into kinetic energy (by a sudden release of the backwater) during surge flushing. During that energy transformation high turbulent flows and shear stresses can occur. When the surge wave has lost the required kinetic energy (transport energy), the solids will settle again [Haußm99].
