“…Moreover, an evaluation of the vector map for flow rate of 5.5 L/min in both samples demonstrated similar particle settling at different velocities (Jones and Wadzuk, 2013). Owing to the smaller particle size of sample two than sample one, higher settling velocity was recorded.…”

Detention ponds are one type of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) that can be used for the quantity control of stormwater. The pond works by reducing peak discharge downstream through temporary storage and gradual release. In this paper, a new experimental procedure using particle image velocimetry (PIV) is introduced for a two-dimensional study of the hydrodynamic behavior of fine particles in a specially designed sediment basin. The hydrodynamic behavior of fine particles under different hydraulics parameters was achieved by shifting outlet placement, using different particle-size diameters, varying the distance of the inlet from the water surface, and varying the flow rate. The same inlet and outlet level reduced fine-particle dispersion and a lower flow rate assisted with controlling high siltation. Furthermore, smaller spherical particles had more influence on fine particle suspension. Therefore, controlling the hydraulic parameters can decrease the siltation problem level.

“…This situation occurred because the higher flow rate of 11 L/min caused more dispersion of the fine particles in sample one 9 and 10). The smaller particles of sample two showed greater variation with flow, and the suspension behavior of the particles (,63lm) (Jones and Wadzuk, 2013) during siltation was coherent.…”
