Another check of the accuracy of the results can be seen by comparing the dissipation rate of the flocculation tanks to values recommended by Schulz and Okun of .4-10 mW/kg. The energy dissipation plotted in this region for the fh=3 case results in the plot shown below:
Figure 1: Energy Dissipation Rate in the range of .4-10 mW/kg for fh/w=3, Re=10,000
The regions in white are outside of this region, indicating that energy dissipation values above and below this recommended region exist in the flocculator.
