Settling slurry

Settling-slurry mode adds the solids excess gradient as an equivalent minor loss on the carrier friction, with a deposition-velocity check per pipe.

• Tailings, dredge, mineral, and other settling-slurry lines where deposition risk matters.

The mixture specific gravity sets the static head, and the solids excess hydraulic gradient (over the carrier water) is folded in as an equivalent minor-loss coefficient on the carrier’s own Colebrook friction — regime-independent and exact in the turbulent regime slurries run in. The velocity is checked against the Wilson deposition velocity.
