The Plate Settler Spacing team is currently investigating the Floc Roll-Up Phenomenon in the tube settler. By developing a velocity gradient model that supports our various experimental results, we hope to both analytically and experimentally determine the critical velocity floc particles experience when they begin to roll up the settler tube and into the effluent rather than settling back down the tube and into the floc blanket. (Do you want to also understand how properties of the flocs themselves affect floc roll-up?)
