settling velocity [′set·liŋ və‚läs·əd·ē]
(fluid mechanics) The rate at which suspended solids subside and are deposited. Also known as fall velocity. (mechanics) The velocity reached by a particle as it falls through a fluid, dependent on its size and shape, and the difference between its specific gravity and that of the settling medium; used to sort particles by grain size.

No references found | The plot of interface height as a function of settling time indicates that settling velocity is highest for the Cat Gly4 flocculant and lowest for Cat AM (Table 3). In the prediction of dispersion of human-generated aero sols, in order to take account of the effect of gravity, settling velocity calculated from Stokes equation (Hinds 1999) is added into the convection term in Equation 1. The basic laws of physics show that two spheres (approximate shape of a normal coffee bean) with different diameters can in fact have the same settling velocity when their density is different, which would prevent any separation of heavy and light beans on the basis of density. |
