Model identification for hindered-compression settling velocity

Two of the key questions regarding secondary settling are (a) Does a process model exist for which all hindered and compression settling velocity parameters can be estimated using experimental data?; (b) What is the minimum data that need be inferred, from a settling sensor setup to identify process models?” This international research effort aimed to address these questions by carrying out a comprehensive practical identifiability assessment of constitutive functions for hindered and compression settling velocity using laboratory-scale measurements and one-dimensional (1-D) simulation models. For model validation, the triangulation technique was used, including independent laboratoryand full-scale measurements as well as 1-D and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation models.
