Although many different designs have been proposed, there seems to be general agreement that‘ the cylindrical settling tube is a design capable of yielding quantitative results in (Bloesch and Burns 1980, Gardner 1980a,b) for relatively calm waters. The reliability of these or any other trap in shallow water with significant wave orbital motions is unknown.
