As the Sedimentation Tank Hydraulics Team is working on a new project, much of the initial research so far has been in was design. I worked with Yiwen to design the tube flocculator to produce reasonably size flocs for our sedimentation tank. The flocculator was designed for an energy dissipation rate to encourage floc formation, for a sufficient scouring velocity and laminar flow, and for a residence time to produce flocs of a predicted size. Much of the design work has also included contributing to a Sedimentation Team Research Rationale, the drawing of its figures, and working together to determine materials for our new set-up.Following, considerations about diffuser height and spacing were examined so as to design a manifold with no dead zones along the length of the sedimentation tank.
Subsequent experimental contributions include working the team to determine the minimum angle of repose needed to form a floc blanket.
