Fall 2008 Research Paper Sub-Topics
...
Validate which turbulence model to use. K-e realizable or K-w SST (all cases use air as the material)
...
Examines the back-step example to determine the type of turbulence model to use in FLUENT.
...
Calculate Gθ and compare with the theoretical data (all cases used air as the material)
...
Determines the Gθ value for various flocculation height (fh) to baffle spacing (bs) ratios using a UDF in FLUENT.
...
Analyze how energy dissipation rate is affected by Reynolds number (all cases used air as the material)
...
Examines the affect of varying the velocity inlet from .1 m/s which corresponds to a Re=10,000 to 1 m/s (Re=100,000) and .01 m/s (Re=1,000).
...
Investigation of Turbulence Boundary Condition (missing data: the material used is unclear; note that the graphs are actually contours of turbulent kinetic energy)
...
Examines the affect of varying the turbulent inlet length scale for the optimal geometry.
...
Uniform Energy Dissipation Rate Approach in Determining Optimal Geometry (missing data: material used is unclear)
...
Determines the optimal geometry for the flocculation tank by varying the fh/bs, and ch/bs ratios.
