{title2=$V=u_s(\phi_L+\phi_R-1)$}

The <Rankine-Hugoniot condition> for the <quadratic hindered-settling flux> gives $V=u_s(\phi_L+\phi_R-1)$, with lower and upper states labelled $L,R$. It includes a downward clearing front ($\phi_R=0$), an upward deposition front ($\phi_L=1$), and a stationary final deposit/clear-fluid interface.
