Exploring the Effects of Velocity Gradients on Settler Performance
This page details the approach taken to differentiate the effects of velocity gradients from capture velocity for different tube diameter and lengths. This approach proved successful and subsequent experiments are based on these calculations
Exploring the Coupled Effects of Capture Velocity and Velocity Gradient on Settler Performance
This page details the initial approach taken by the team to design an experiment that would test floc roll-up. The team held the geometric similarity between tubes of different diameters in order to explore changes in residual turbidity caused by the capture velocity and velocity gradient.
