Thanks alot BRIS, it sounds like you know a lot about this type of project. Now the questions come...
1. You said "course sediment" was removed. Can you give me an approx size that was removed/remained in suspension after treatment?
2. Do you suppose that the basin would be reliable if we send...
Thank you BRIS and Bimr,
Yes, the thought was to put a steep bottom on it to prevent buildup and direct the sediment into the center drain. BRIS, please tell me more about maintainence. This will be on the headworks of a flume to a power plant.
Thanks a lot
Hello,
Has anyone worked with vortex sediment separation? I'm talking about 800cfs and gravity powered. I have found references to these, but no technical information.
check out www.cis.umassd.edu/~gleung/cawfo/conf12.htm
(The author of this article has retired...)
A cool idea though...
Actually I missed a character
check out www.cis.umassd.edu/~gleung/cawfo/conf12.htm
A cool idea... I'd like to use it, but I'm having some trouble finding resources.
Thanks for any help
Has anyone worked with a vortex sediment separation facility? I'm talking 800cfs, gravity powered. I've seen references to them overseas, and that they worked well, but I haven't found one in the US or with any specific design information.

Thanks bimr,
Yeah, I know I need to keep it laminar, but I just started questioning the equations because like you said, turbulent flow is when sediment gets suspended...
I suppose one needs to believe the book...
Thanks a lot!
Hey, thanks alot. Yes, I did notice that the CD was quite a bit lower in turbulence, but I'm getting a 4X speed increase which sounds a bit questionable...
Thanks for you help!

Hi,
I must admit to being a mechanical engineer, thrust upon a water treatment project... Help! I'm looking at terminal velocities for sand particles falling out of water in a settling pond. The equations that I'm getting out of "Unit Operations and Processes in Environmental Engineering" are...
