To ensure that flocs in the plate settler don't roll up, we can calculate the minimum floc diameter of the flocs that settle from the sedimentation velocity equation. Solving for the floc diameter,
...
Figure 3 shows how the linearized equations provide an excellent solution with only tiny divergence for big flocs in small tubes.
...
