This contribution summarizes a new finite volume element (FVE) method as a unified scheme for coupled sedimentation‐flow problems in secondary settling tanks in wastewater treatment. The model is two‐dimensional in an axisymmetric setting. A new numerical example is presented. (© 2012 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
