poor cohesion : term officially approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Phénomènes météorologiques, climatiques et atmosphériques

Liaison fragile entre les grains d'une couche de neige.

Record 2 1982-08-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

At the point of transition from the cylindrical, to the conical section, the sediment is subjected to back-pressure which becomes weaker as the angle of the bowl reduces. This pressure must not destroy the cohesion of thickened sludge, otherwise extraction will be poor and a substantial amount of suspension will be reformed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

À la transition de la partie cylindrique vers la partie conique, le sédiment est soumis à une forme de reflux d'autant plus faible que l'angle du bol l'est. Cette force ne doit pas détruire la cohésion de la boue épaissie; sinon l'extraction se fera mal ou entraînera une remise en suspension importante.
