The rate at which solid particles sediment under the action of gravity          can be greatly enhanced if the walls of the settling vessel are                 inclined rather than vertical.  This phenomenon, often referred to as           "The Boycott Effect", plays an increasingly important role in a variety         of separation processes because, in principle, the sedimentation rate           can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude if the vessel is                 properly designed.  Recently, a theory has been developed for modeling          such systems; a key restriction of that theory which required that the          particle Reynolds number be vanishingly small will now be relaxed in an         approximate manner and the resulting theoretical predictions will be            tested experimentally.  The overall objective of this research is to            develop a reliable theoretical framework for modeling the operation of          supersettlers under conditions encountered in practice.
