  • Abstract
We study a model of continuous sedimentation. Under idealizing assumptions, the settling of the solid particles under the influence of gravity can be described by the initial value problem for a one-dimensional scalar conservation law with a flux function that depends discontinuously on the spatial position. There exists several entropy conditions related to the same conservation law in the literature giving rise to uniqueness. The same initial data may give rise to different entropy solutions, depending on the criteria one selects. This motivated us to derive the PDE together with an entropy condition as a hydrodynamic limit from a microscopic interacting particle system.We are inclined to prefer the entropy solution selected by this method. It turns out that this is an entropy condition suggested by Audusse and Pethame in a different context.
