Abstract
A numerical method based on the polygonal approximation of Dafermos is appl ied to the solution of several problems of batch thickening within the fram ework of the Kynch theory of sedimentation. The method solves problems that cannot be approached by the theory of characteristics. (C) 1999 Elsevier S cience B.V. All rights reserved.
