Data

The settling velocity for mud in suspension can be divided into four catego­ries:

·         Constant settling velocity

·         Flocculation

·         Hindered settling

·         Fluid mud

If constant settling velocity is chosen, the value used under constant settling velocity will be applied.

If flocculation is chosen, the choice of including hindered settling is offered as formulated by either Richardson and Zaki (1954) or Winterwerp (1999).
