sedimentation modeling

Sedimentation modeling involves predicting how particles like soil, sand, or pollutants settle out of water over time. It helps scientists and engineers understand how sediments accumulate in rivers, reservoirs, or industrial processes. Using mathematical equations and computer simulations, the model considers factors like particle size, water flow, and gravity to estimate when and where sediments will settle. This information aids in designing effective water treatment, managing sediment buildup, and protecting aquatic ecosystems by understanding sediment behavior and movement within water bodies.
