Comparison of the 1D idealised flux theory and a 2D hydrodynamic model with full scale secondary settling tank performance data

In this research, the two dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic model SettlerCAD (Zhou et al., 1998) was applied to full-scale circular secondary settling tanks (SSTs) with the principal aim to 1) establish whether or not it "automatically" reproduces a flux rating <1.0 with respect to the steady state 1D idealized flux theory (1DFT) and; 2) determine what factor influence this flux rating.
