Nakamura’s theory, however, is a phenomenology, and he does not go into details of the mechanism of the “levelling action,” which plays an important role in his theory. Recently, several workers have performed theoretical calculations on Boycott’s effect assuming that the levelling is due to diffusion. But the author suspected the validity of this assumption, and carried out a series of experiments to prove that the levelling is not due to diffusion, but to a hydrodynamical current in the suspending medium (a kind of convection) caused by the uneven pressure distribution. The work was executed with the assistance of a number of students of the Faculty of Engineering., 正誤表あり(https://doi.org/10.18999/memfenu.1.2.158)}, pages = {9--19}, title = {Sedimentation in tilted vessels}, volume = {1}, year = {1949} }
