A series of column test with a silty marine soil mixed with Jumunjin Standard Sand were performed to investigate the characteristics of settling and consolidation of non-plastic dredged soils. Column tests were carried out by using the separable column to measure the grain size distribution of consolidated layer. Column tests were performed with changing the mixing ratio of Jumunjin Standard Sand to the silty marine soil, initial water content of slurry and initial height of slurry. Height of interface of slurry was monitored during tests and grain size distribution tests were carried out after finishing tests. Influencing factors on the particle segregation, eventually to the characteristics of settling and consolidation of non-plastic soil, were analyzed on the thesis of test results. As results of column tests, the mixing ratio of sand to the silty marine soil and the initial water content of slurry were known to affect the characteristics of settling and consolidation resulted in significant particle segregation of slurry. Initial height of slurry was found not to affect seriously to particle segregation.

The settling behavior of marine fluid mud in the west seaside of Korea has been studied with theoretical analysis and experimental technique. This paper describes laboratorial experiments on the sedimentation and the deposition of soil particles in seawater, with measurement of velocity of interface, the water contents, the settlement. And the reseults are compared with an earlier theoretical research, the hindered settling theory of Kynch, McRoberts and Nixon. According to the results the process of Banweol mud sedimentation showed the typical mode of the hindered settling under the condition of initial water content, wo=1000%. Also, the falling rates of fluid mud interface from initial settling height vs. the rising rates of soil deposit from the bottom of the test tub were measured by the function of time, the correlati tranship of them demonstrated as a straight line and obtained an experimental formula.

An analysis for particle settling effects via of plume centerline tilted exponentially under the influence of panicle settling velocity is carried out for particle of $30{\mu}m$ diameter with $1g/cm^3$ density and 0.02m/s settling velocity corresponding to its particle characteristic according to various wind speeds, atmospheric stabilities. Characteristic analysis of surface concentration distribution simulated by Lagrangian model also are carried out under the influence of plume centerline tilted exponentially at 10m stack height emitted 200 particles per second. This study reveals that plume centerline at the nearby source is sharply tilted exponentially under the condition of stable, weakly wind speed, therefore the lower concentration at the nearby source, the higher concentration at the downwind distance far away from source than actual one is brought out, if not apply the effect of plume centerline tilted exponentially to diffusion Model.

We applied a commercially available computational fluid dynamics model, FLOW-3D, to design a settling basin inlet structure for the intended O sewage plant. In addition, we analyzed the extent to which the inlet sewage water was distributed as a result, firstly, of the location and width of a submerged baffle wall and, secondly, of the opening ratio of a baffle wall with opening holes. The application results show that the flow is unstable due to the generation of eddies in both sides of the submerged baffle wall when the submerged baffle wall is located close to the inlet. The eddies and subsequent instability also occur when the submerged baffle wall is located close to the baffle wall with opening holes. Moreover, the discharge that passes through the midsection of the settling basin increases as the width of the submerged baffle wall increases. At the O sewage plant, when the submerged baffle wall with a width of 2.4 m was located 2 m from the inlet structure and the opening ratio of the baffle wall was 7 percent, the most satisfactory distribution of the inlet sewage water occurred at the entrance of the settling basin.

The vertical distribution of suspended sediments in the mangrove-mud coast is complicated due to the characterization of cohesive sediment properties, and the influence of hydrodynamic factors. In this study, the time-evolution of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in water depth is simulated by a one-dimensional model. The model applies in-situ data measured in October 2014 at the outer station in Cu Lao Dung coastal areas, Soc Trang, Vietnam. In the model, parameters which have influence on vertical distribution of SSC include the settling velocity Ws and the diffusion coefficient Kz. The settling velocity depends on the cohesive sediment properties, and the diffusion coefficient depends on the wave-current dynamics. The settling velocity is determined by the settling column experiment in the laboratory, which is a constant of 1.8 × 10^-4 ms^-1. Two hydrodynamic conditions are simulated including a strong current condition and a strong wave condition. Both simulations show that the SSC near the bottom is much higher than ones at the surface due to higher turbulence at the bottom. At the bottom layer, the SSC is strongly influenced by the current.

High bandwidth memory a core technology of the future memory semiconductor industry, is attracting attention. Temporary bonding and debonding process technology, which plays an important role in high bandwidth memory process technology, is also being studied. In this process, total thickness variation is a major factor determining wafer performance. In this study, the reliability of the equipment measuring total thickness variation is identified, and the servo motor settling, and wafer total thickness variation measurement accuracy are analyzed. As for the experimental variables, vacuum, acceleration time, and speed are changed to find the most efficient value by comparing the stabilization time. The smaller the vacuum and the larger the radius, the longer the settling time. If the radius is small, high-speed rotation performance is good, and if the radius is large, low-speed rotation performance is good. In the future, we plan to conduct an experiment to measure the entire of the wafer.

Particle settling behavior was studied by the computer simulation using simultaneous particle condensation and relaxation. This three-dimensional settling algorithm includes the estimation of powder sediment density. Density distribution through the powder sediment was compared and was agreed well with the experimental findings. Settling density depended strongly of the degree of particle relaxation. Sediment strength and isotropy also depended on the degree of particle relaxation. Sever particle bridging was found near sharp corners.

In the present paper, batch and semi-continuous settling characteristics of a binary calcium carbonate-water system were investigated. Using experimental data of batch settling characteristics, a graphical analysis for a semi-continuous thickening column was developed and compared with experimental results on the basis of Kynch theory, only where the feed velocity line was within the limits of Kynch theorem III. The analysis showed good agreement with experiments. Quite erroneous results, however, was observed for the analysis of a sludge region on the underloaded operation, which was considered due to the deviation from the limits of theory.

There are many engineering applications that demand settling acceleration and volume reduction of fine solid suspensions. It is a matter to Improve the dredged soil thickening as well as the dewatering characteristic, because settling acceleration of dredged soil decreases the scale of industrial process and volume reduction of dredged soil decreases environmetal challenge to the disposal sites. Direct electric current induces the movement of fine solid particles suspended in water. Upon formation of a soil structure, the current further induces the movement of water and contaminant in the soil skeleton. Theses phenomena are known as electrokinetics. This study investigates the viability, of using the technique of electrokinetic dewatering to river dredged soil for settling acceleration and volume reduction. The aspect, such as sedimentation velocity, final volume and current variation are discussed.

Herein, a low-ripple coarse-fine digital low-dropout regulator (D-LDO) without ringing in the transient state is proposed. Conventional D-LDO suffers from a ringing problem when settling the output voltage at a large load transition, which increases the settling time. The proposed D-LDO removes the ringing and reduces the settling time using an auxiliary power stage which adjusts its output current to a load current in the transient state. It also achieves a low output ripple voltage using a comparator with a complete comparison signal. The proposed D-LDO was fabricated using a 65-nm CMOS process with an area of 0.0056 μ㎡. The undershoot and overshoot were 47 mV and 23 mV, respectively, when the load current was changed from 10 mA to 100 mA within an edge time of 20 ns. The settling time decreased from 2.1 ㎲ to 130 ns and the ripple voltage was 3 mV with a quiescent current of 75 ㎂.
