Following the team's previous experimental research with velocity gradients, this experiment is aimed at differentiating the effects of velocity gradients from capture velocities on tube settler performance. In the team's previous experiments (detailed in Exploring the Coupled Effects of Capture Velocity and Velocity Gradient on Settler Performance), it was hypothesized that keeping the length to diameter ratio of tube settlers constant would minimize the effects of capture velocity on performance. However, the results indicated that even with a constant length to diameter ratio of 20, high capture velocity significantly contributed to performance deterioration at high flow rates.
