Thickener / clarifier simulation

slurry -> dense underflow + clarified overflow

Governing equations

The exact equations the solver works for a thickener / clarifier — the same math shown in the app's "Theory" panel, not a black box.

\dot n_{s,under}=R\,\dot n_{s,in},\quad \dot n_{l,under}=\dot n_{s,under}\frac{1-f_s}{f_s}

\dot n_{over}=\dot n_{in}-\dot n_{under}\;\;(\text{clarified liquid + unrecovered fines})

Parameters

solids_recovery [0..1 solids to underflow, default 0.98], underflow_solids_fraction [0..1 solids fraction of the dense underflow, default 0.55]; feed = solid + liquor inlets (Coe-Clevenger mass balance)
