The paper deals with the dependence of aggregate properties on the shear rate (G) in the
aggregation process and at steady state. Natural raw water and ferric sulphate were …

In this work we present experimental and simulation analysis of the breakage and
restructuring of colloidal aggregates in dilute conditions under shear. In order to cover a …

We study the first breakage event of colloidal aggregates exposed to shear flow by detailed
numerical analysis of the process. We have formulated a model, which uses Stokesian …

The book is intended as a handbook providing detailed instructions for the correct
conducting of jar tests, which are needed for the optimisation of the coagulation/flocculation …

Stability characteristics of colloids in a laminar flow have been studied by solving the Fokker–
Plank equation for the pair probability density function. This was done by simultaneously …

Aggregates prepared under fully destabilized conditions by the action of Brownian motion
were exposed to an extensional flow generated at the entrance of a sudden contraction. Two …

The average shear rate (γ˙ av) is a parameter used to characterize the shear environment in
bioreactors, enabling comparison of the performances of different bioreactor models in terms …

We have studied the long-term dynamics of shear-induced breakage of individual colloidal
clusters, covering a wide range of fractal dimensions, using Stokesian dynamics. We found …

Hypothesis Complex and coupled interaction between coagulation mechanisms results in a
nonlinear variation of coagulation rate with shear rate. Calculations Coagulation behavior of …

The morphological properties of kaolin flocs were investigated in a Couette-flow experiment
at the steady state under seven shear flow conditions (shear rates of 5.36, 9.17, 14, 24, 31 …
