- Additional information
- This output from EPSRC EP/K015117/1 is the first to combine experimental and numerical modelling of inhibited floc development within mixed cohesive and non-cohesive sediment suspensions, incorporating a new breakage mechanism attributed to direct floc-sand particle collisions. The experimental facility and methods utilised underpin a new joint SAIC-industry funded project (£550k total, £147k to Dundee) to quantify turbulent settling, deposition and re-suspension of particulate aquaculture wastes. These results will be implemented into NewDEPOMOD, a predictive model assessing impacts from fish-farm waste discharges and supporting regulatory compliance in aquaculture (https://www.sams.ac.uk/science/projects/depomod/). Contacts: Aquaculture Innovation Officer, SAIC; Head of Technical, Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation.
