Flocculation Tank with Three Baffles Turning
The The simplification of a single baffle turn eliminates eliminated important behavior within the flocculator. Multiple baffles enable separation regions to interact with each other. The velocity magnitude plot below in Figure 1 displays how the flow before separation at the second turn is not uniform and moves fastest at the edge of the baffle. The enabled us to see the interaction between different baffles.

...
Figure 1 shows the flocculation tank with three baffles turning. As can be seen, the fast moving fluid after first turning propagated to the second turning.
Intuition will tell us that the velocity at the second turning will further increase because of the faster incoming flow at second bend. Surprisingly enough, at second turn, the outer edge velocity is lower compared to the first turn.

One explanation of such phenomena is that the faster moving fluid can't turn fast enough and impinges on the edge of the third baffle. The contours wall. Upon investigating contour of turbulence disspation dissipation rate illustrate , illustrated in Figure 2.

figure 2, we see that there is a very high region of energy dissipation rate right after the second turn. The high energy dissipation rate region explains why we have a smaller velocity.

Flocculation Tank with Five Baffles Turning
The five baffle turning case results below shown in Figure 3 reveals a similar velocity profile after each turn. In this case, there is not a high velocity region followed by a high dissipation region, and the flow seems more uniform. 
The flow obviously relates to the geometry of the problem. Altering the geometry of the problem will result in different flows.
Automation of Mesh Creation Process
turns enables high dissipation regions to interact. The geometry to investigate is presented below in the automization of the mesh in GAMBIT. Below is the case where baffle spacing is fixed at .1, and the flocculator height is fixed at .1. This results in a regions of high velocity magnitude, "undeveloped" energy dissipation regions, and a uniform energy dissipation value.

This problem is rich in geometric variables, and our investigation found that a larger height baffles is more optimal. Figure 4 shows the velocity and energy dissipation plots for flocculation height of .3:

Note that the overall epsilon value range (max at .01) is lower than the plot above which has a max of (.05), but has comparatively more uniform distribution for baffles turns 3 and 4.
