Study on the diameter design method of vortex settling basin for suspended sediment based on the tangential characteristic Reynolds number

Scientific Reports
The vortex settling basin for suspended sediment is a sediment treatment device that enables efficient use of irrigation water, yet the diameter design remains insufficiently defined, leading to large dis crepancies between measured and designed trapping
