A variety of experiments were conducted, existing relevant publications were reviewed, and the basis for an algorithm for predicting the effect of withdrawing from a central flowing region, in combination with variations in quality due to geometric, layering and segregation effects, is described in this report. date: 2012 citation: Cellai, D. and Cregan, V. and Curtis, M. and Fowler, A. and Hinch, J. and Hocking, G. and McGuinness, M. and Murnane, J. and O'Brien, S. and Smith, N.
