Currently, our effort is focused on depicting an accurate energy dissipation map inside the flocculator, describing the size and the shape of the region where most of the energy is dissipated and the formation and collisions of flocs happen, thus providing basis for more efficient and economical design of the geometry that dissipate the energy as uniformly as possible.

Comparison of 2D model and 3D model with periodic boundary condition using k-epsilon realizable solver

• Part of the preliminary effort to extend the 2D models into 3D settings, illustratively demonstrating the underlying simplification -no variation in z-direction - of simulating 3D flows with a 2D model
