The methods commonly used to design a perforated baffle at the inlet of rectangular settling basins are still being refined. Recently this pilot plant study was conducted to determine the optimum distance required for intermixing to occur between the jets of neighboring ports and the effect of Reynolds number on that distance. The use of small nozzles in place of a circular orifice was also explored.
