Abstract

Abstract A microhydrodynamic model is proposed to evaluate the turbulent transport effects on the sedimentation behavior of fine solid particles. The model is deduced from a material balance in a turbulent field which includes concentration effects on the turbulent diffusion coefficients and the settling velocities of solid particles. The microhydrodynamic model can simulate the practical sedimentation behavior of solid particles not only in the steady state but also in the dynamic as well as the decay state.
