Abstract
The previous analysis of free settling is extended by considering situations involving concentration gradients in the free-settling zone. It is shown that anomalies which arise in the theory can be removed if the normal concept of a free-settling suspension is modified. This involves recognizing that, even when the flocs are not in contact, a suspension will exhibit a transient resistance to concentration change.Keywords
