References for the VdjModel in settlingFoam?
 

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell where I may find the reference for the 'general' and 'simple' models for Vdj in solver 'settlingFoam'?

Really appreciate.

Thanks.

Hi, check the Brennan's and Bohorquez's theses.

Regards.

The 'simple' model is the Vesilind model.

The 'general' model is the Takacs model.

The standard version of these models publishes coefficients for suspended solids measured in mass units, typically mg/l, sometimes g/l.

settlingFoam uses volumetric fraction, so you need to convert.

volumetric fraction x solids density should be good enough

Thank you so much for above two answers, really helpful!
