CFD 3D Floc Tank Simulation Challenges for Fall 2009
Subteam Leader: (Wenqi has graduated, but can help with training new members)
...
- More simulation for 2D performance parameter analysis: we had some encouraging results and possible future topics are:
- Further analysis for the current data: change within one flocculator from baffle to baffle, etc.
- Simulations with different Reynolds number
- Other ways of varying the geometry: different numbers of baffles, baffle spacing, etc,that encoutered in design
- Further develop the formulation of parameters
- Extend to 3D model:
- Improve convergence, to which energy dissipation rate is very sensitive
- Congifuration of parallel computing for 3D simulations
- Modify the mesh: check the regional convergence of the mesh, coarsen the mesh in some region
- Validation which is needed for all sets of simulation
- Sensitivity
- More sensitivity analysis of other parameters when necessary
- Compare with Find some experimental data to compare (or some better idea?)
