Algorithm

The primary constraint for designing the channel connecting flocculation and sedimentation tanks is the depth of the channel. The channel must be designed to make sure that the transition between the two tanks does not break up the flocs formed in the flocculation tank. Therefore the average velocity gradient, (G.cell) was a key parameter in the design. G.cell is the average velocity gradient in the cell where the energy dissipation is assumed to be occurring. A G.cell of 15/s was used because it is the desired velocity gradient for the end of the flocculation tank. Anything higher could result in the breakup of flocs.
