Abstract

The present paper deals with the formation process of settling interface. Settling experiments and settling simulations showed that the settling interface is caused by the horizontal percolation of settling particles. In the case of low solid content, dispersed particles and/or agglomerates repeat collisions in the initial stage of settling, and form a settling interface. In the case of high solid content, particles form a network structure immediately after the settling starts, causing the zone settling.
