Deposition Velocity
Also known as maximum deposition limit velocity ($V_{sm}$). Threshold flow velocity that describes the minimum velocity needed to prevent solids from forming a stationary bed regardless of concentration.
FluidFlow calculates deposition velocity using any of these methods:
- As a function of particle size (Wilson 1997 Model)
- WASC generalized relationship (Wilson 1992 Model)
- VSCALC ( Multi-correlation involving Wilson – GIW, Thomas 1979, Thomas 2015 and Wilson 1992 Models)
