The behavior of flow in rectangular settling tanks has been studied under different flow conditions using statistical analysis of 13 configurations. The mean and root mean square (rms) velocities throughout the tank have been measured and the main features of the flow patterns, for example, the size of eddies, potential core, growth of the boundary layer, and the turbulence distribution within the tank have been studied. The energy balance is investigated on the basis of the mean kinetic energy and the turbulent kinetic energy. The rms of the horizontal velocity is used to represent the turbulence in the tanks.
