Talk:Settling

message: First, settling and sedimentation are very important concepts in earth sciences, namely sedimentology, so I find it very odd that this page is listed (only?) in the Chemical and Bio engineering project. Having said that, let me point out why they should not be merged.
Sediment transport has three parts, start, ongoing, end. The start can be erosion, or a mass movement that merges into a mudflow that merges into a hyperconcentrated flow that merges into a normal flow. The ongoing is by suspended transport, saltation, or bedload transport. The end is sedimentation, resulting in sediment accumulation, deposition, accretion. Erosion - transport - sedimentation is an established concept. 
Settling on the other hand refers exclusivly to the tendency of suspended particles to fall under the influence of some force, notably gravity in an earth science context. Thus, the end point of settling is sedimentation. Just the end point! And sedimentation does not have to be preceded by settling. Boulders rolling on the bottom are not settling, for instance, since they are always matrix supported.
Thus, don't merge, but make the division of concepts strict as I have outlined here. 24.127.208.87 (talk) 17:49, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi, I plan to make the addition of a figure I produced that is relevant to the discussion of Stokes' Settling regime are where it begins to fail. I believe it to be a useful illustration of where/how the Stokes Model breaks down for those looking for a quick use of the equations. Please discuss with me if you'd like to make edits to this addition. Cheers. -MMenczer MMenczer (talk) 19:07, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
