Abstract

The settling of solid particles in turbulent flowing water is of actual interest with a lot of hydraulic problems. One field of research is the sedimentation process of solids in horizontal settling basins. This kind of basin is necessary for clarification systems, water intakes and industrial processing engineering plants, where grains down to a definite grain size have to be separated from the fluid in order to prevent a serious damage in pumps, turbines etc.. An economical calculation of the basin dimensions demands an efficient mathematical description of the physical process.
