Abstract
The operation of quiescent (batch) clarifiers operating in the Class III mode (hindered settling) with flocculating slurries is modeled by means of a set of nonlinear partial differential equations, the continuity equations for the individual species of particles. Disintegration of the larger particles by viscous drag forces is assumed to be first-order. The equations are integrated numerically for the case of batch settling (such as is used in jar tests), and the dependence of settling characteristics on the parameters of the model is studied.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
