A note on an extended clarifier-thickener model with singularsource and sink terms

Resumen

A one-dimensional clarifier-thickener (CT) model, which includes a singular feed source, can be expressed as a conservation law with a flux that is discontinuous with respect to the spatial variable. The CT model is extended herein by a singular sink through which material is extracted. The sink gives rise to a new non-conservative transport term. The paper summarizes a recent well-posedness analysis and presents a numerical method for the extended model. A numerical example is presented.
