Introduction:
Ansys Fluent has been used to obtain flow solutions for idealized AguaClara flocculators and the question has always been asked by Professor Monroe Weber-Shirk, can we check if the solution is correct? PIV experimentation by Julia Schoen with a scale model of the flocculator and headloss and flowrate measurements in an AguaClara facility in Agalteca, Honduras by Sarah Long have shown that the pressure drop coefficient in flocculator simulations in Fluent, using the available turbulence models, are too high. The formulas governing turbulent kinetic energy dissipation and headloss are:
